Before my PC














Let's take a trip down memory lane. Shall we? Before I had my own PC, I had a Brother daisy wheel word processor. It was a WP-3650 with a 14" screen and a 3.5 240Kb floppy disk drive. I couldn't store that much information back then with 240Kb. Some disks were provided by the manufacturer and had spreadsheets, sample letters, and a thesaurus saved on them. I typed many papers for school on this baby. I also used it for storing my written poems that I wrote in the past. I typed my first resume on it as well. When I was bored, I played Tetris on it.












What's the difference between this and a computer?










Well, first of all, there was no mouse attached to it. To type, you used the keys on the typewriter which was attached to the screen with a wire. There were save options and print options on the keypad.
