I first learned typing on a Selectric. The keyboard felt so nice, then they put me on a Commodore 64 and eww. I remember switching with my parent cause I didn't want to use the Commodore again, but after a few weeks I had to stop that as some assignments had to be handed in electrically (I think on disk, though my memory is fuzzy and network options did exist). I haven't seen a Selectric since, but I still remember how nice it felt to type on.
