4.5TB of data written out of nowhere??

How did we get so far off topic?

Ah my mistake. I was just getting a bit nostalgic. I guess I should be getting a bit depressed also since I've seen AND used all of these things before.

Seen a washboard, never used one. Oh, it was in a museum. However I did use a mechanical typewriter even into high school, then an electric one, and a computer keyboard, and I use to use a punch card machine, IBM 029. Now that was old but it worked.

Hmm... I wonder how many young adults know what whiteout is or why one would use it. Really don't miss typewriters.

My mother had one, used it before we had a washing machine (this was just post-war in the UK). I used (played?) that washboard in a skiffle group in the late 50's, early 60's.

Used it in both forms (liquid and tape). Tape form is definitely better as you don't need to wait for it to dry. Not to mention, some pens don't write that well on the dry liquid form. I also had one of those electric typewriters that had those whiteout tapes built-in to the carriage. It was super handy.

Yup, mine had too!

I was under the impression that whiteout is commonly used in schools, especially tape; at least we used it.
