Yes 50 points wasn't too shabby. It was pretty sweet though because they thought I was really going to yell that that loud so they were all silent.

They are too cool words. I use them all the time at camp, and so do the counselors. Well some don't even bother. :)

LOL maybe my team startd a team back then or something. The counselors got a laugh out of us using them and thought it was cool but never heard anyone else using them back then who knows.

Well i never claimed to be a great typist.

I don't think any of us can make that claim. I tend to be such a perfectionist though I always go back if I notice a mistake. I always do horrible at typing programs because I'm constantly using the backspace button.

Typing programs never seemed to work for me. I kinda just tought myself in a longer period of time because I have no patience for those darn typing programs. I go to a school with 17 computers in every classroom and we use them all the time especially to check e-mail. I've been going there since sixth grade, so slowly but surely I have developed some typing skills that aren't too shabby.

Well i've been using computers since i was in kindergarden. If you can call that thing i had back then a computer. It was really primative by todays standards but it was a computer. Keep in mind this was about 1984 or 1985 or so. And i basicly taught myself to type although i did take a class my senior year of high school just to fill space on the schedule.

Okay if you call the ones that use floppy floppy disks in the early 90's computers, I have been using computers since elementary school. I didn't discover the power of a 56K modem (and that was the best possible back then) until 4th grade or so. But starting 6th grade, I was on them everyday at school.

I remember using Windows 3.01. I had Reader Rabbit and this game suite thing from Borland. That's all I remember. I may have used computers before then, but I don't remember them.

Man, Reader Rabbit was awesome. I had Reader Rabbit and Reader Rabbit 2. I already knew how to read, but whatever it was an awesome game still.

LOL i have to laugh at what yu called old computers. Ofcourse the first compuyter i ever had was before some of you were born. No hard drive, no floppy disk and no modem. The internet didnt exist outside of universities and noone had ever heard of it. My first computer was a radio shack/tandy made computer. It consisted of a very large keyboard that you could also plug game cartridges into, a tv for a monitor and instead of a disk drive it used audio casettes or atleast thats what they looked like. Ad actually the thing you pout them in could play audio casettes too. The larder 5 inch floppies wern't readily available yet. I remember a friend of mine getting an Apple around 1988 or 89 and it blew my old one away. And back then it was all learing games on mine mainly sessamy street and disney based. Oh and no windows either.

Haha. Well I used a mac when I was reeeaaallly little and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I don't ever remember a computer like what you are talking about. I wonder how primitive computers we have today will seem in oh say 20 years.
