@JustRobyne, you and I are both in same generation. I left school in 1984!! Even older. We learnt the hard way, handwriting, looking up dictionaries, etc. I learned to type on big old typewriters where I had to change ribbons. Even for my first degree during early 2000's I never used computer, and had none other than college one. I handwrote everything, essays, etc. Glad it's a lot easier now!
