I used typewriters in high school. Wait.

I guess tech changes at different rates as well in different areas, my point is just that politicians shouldn't be legislating things they have no understanding of.

Of course that just goes in general as a total restructuring of the government system would be needed to account for the specialization of modern life and the needs of 2020's society as opposed to 1770's.

I'm actually in complete agreement, was just goofing around. I did use one, though. My grades went up because my handwriting was so bad. It was before computers were widely available but we had a computer lab at school. There was no way to get in there unless you were in a class using it that term. I did have a c64 but no printer. And so on.

Commodore 64? Yeah, you're old 😉 My first home computer had Windows 95 on it, the first one I ever used was probably Windows 3.1 or an Apple 2

My body tells me that every time I get out of a chair, thanks. :)
