Right on! Back when I was a kid, PCs used to require typing, and we liked it!!!

I thought we had arrived when I paid "1 dollar per megabyte" for a 500 MB hard disk.

Do you get paranoid that a laptop should always be horizontal to keep the hard disk flat? I know hard disks are leaps and bounds above the old daze, but the only thing that *matters* in a PC is the hard disk. Everything else can be replaced.
