Senior Moment

Surely this is gonna be analyzed, right? Oh well, somebody has gotta go first.

Entertaining, but no sale—at least not IMO. I don’t believe she introduced enough F to get the M to A the way it did if that is a genuine monitor on a desk (wooden ??) with a typical surface coefficient of static friction.

AIGF :bike:

So -

What rang the carriage return bell?

 

[madmike2]

Either the "sound effects/special effects" guy...just before he pulled the screen off the table with a wire, or.... ....AND cued up the laugh track.

Ooh...oooh, wait, it was a Pavlov experiment gone terribly bad. Durned practical jokers!

Ok, I'll date myself and humiliate myself all at once.

I had earned college scholarships for literature and journalism so I saw typing as a necessary skill and dutifully enrolled in Secretarial Skills class. Once my young hormone riddled body peeked in the door and saw I was the only guy in a class of 31 girls it cemented 4 years of training I learned my Gregg Short hand -- eeoo -- diphthongs and started typing on the industry work horses, "Underwood" and "Royal". I was Pavloved to the bell, every time it went DING I bashed the carriage return lever. Even with the heavy mechanical keys I was typing >70 words/minute. Then one day I was allowed to use the hallowed IBM Selectric (insert angel harps here). It was something akin to getting off a bicycle and getting on a FJR (obligatory MC content). The first time I set my fingers down on the home row keys they ripped off 3-4 lines of gibberish before I could lift my fingers back off again. Over the next few weeks, every time I got to the end of a line I slapped the old Selectric silly, I beat that ***** so bad I was expecting to see dents. It's a good thing that the Selectric was built like a Checker Marathon :lol: If I had gone straight from an Underwood to a PC, I could see myself putting the monitor on the floor.

Well for us oldies it did bring back memories. When I started with IBM, my first training was on the electric Model C typewriter and on and on until the advent of the Personal Computer. The video wasn't the greatest but it did make me laugh, for those who appreciated it, enjoy, just another trip down memory lane!

Outstanding. Turned in “many a report” painstakingly prepared on a “lever action” Royal.

Looks to me like she’s just clacking keys.

Hey, speaking of clacking. Does anybody remember the days of “clackers”?

 

[MrTwisty]

She's kinda hot to be that old!

 

[wfooshee]

Not when you factor in how old the video is.
