Vic Richardson

Yes in 1970 on an old black manual Underwood typewriter, probably from the early 50s... The ratio of male-female in the class was 28:2. I was one of the 2. They told me "you want to be an engineer. You need typing class". Well they weren't wrong...

1983 - I upgraded to a Commodore 64, floppy drive, tractor feed printer and 300 baud modem. The next year I modified some BBS software, used a compiler for Commodore Basic and had a dial-up BBS going in Seattle called High Tech BBS (HTBBS).

VIC 20 computer

My first computer - 1982 VIC 20. You quickly learned the importance of typing accuracy over speed.
