I. Word Up
1. 15. Everything after Sophomore year had to be typed.
2. Yes. Had a temp job in 1996(!) where I had to use a manual typewriter.
3. Xerox.
4. Yes; my last honest-to-god CC was on a credit-card slip a few weeks ago (the receipt printer wasn't working).
5. Appleworks for the Apple IIe.
6. That damn paperclip guy.

II. SENDING AND RECEIVING
1. 2400-baud modem on the outside of my Mac Performa 200. My dad had a 300-baud modem (where you put the phone receiver on it) for about two weeks in the early 80s.
2. 1990-ish, on prodigy.
3. I thought the Web would look like Prodigy, with keywords and all that.
4. Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, dumb luck.
5. It was a Queensryche fan list. No, I don't belong. I joined in 1994 or so; I doubt it still exists.
6.So long as there wasn't an Echelon or spambot installed as well, maybe.

III. SYNTAX ERROR
1. Texas Instruments, baby!
2. Apple BASIC, probably could if I tried.
3. Turn L. Open box. You're dead. I don't remember -- I did play, but I didn't care for them.
4. No.
5. I grew up on Apples.
