When I went to college, I knew the required English classes would be my Achilles heel. Even though English was my native language--I found writing really hard. I had a decent part time job so I bought an Atari 1040si for word processing. I went through four years if college and told no one about my computer. I felt like I was cheating because the other students were spending hours on the typewriter correcting, and rewriting. I had one teacher who said I should buy a IBM typewriter. After reading my assignments, he figured I had a cheap typewriter, and a modern IBM is worth the investment. Funny how times have changed? After college, I lost Internet in computers and gave the Atari to my brother. He told me it was just too confusing--and threw it away. I has an extremely ambitious girlfriend at the time, and she felt computers were a waste of time. She is now some big wig in charge of Technology, and and the Internet. Hello--Ingrid. She was adorable, but we were really different.
