I still never learnt to type properly, I use two fingers and am pretty slow at it. I never got along with my typing teacher and I didn't really learn anything in that class. We had electric typewriters though which were fun to use.

I failed it in year 9 and hated the teacher which had a lot to do with it.  Never felt I learned much either and I type with two fingers also :laugh:

I think I failed it too. :D Failed pretty much everything that year anyway. Changed schools for the next year and did a lot better.

TV stations went off the air in the middle of the night

  YES!  I'd forgotten that!  Even when I first had cable in 1988/89, I remember certain stations would just show a test pattern
   in the wee hours of the morning, or they'd show hours of infomercials.  I miss the late 80s, they were dorky but fun.   :chin:
Yeah I remember the test pattern and really daggy muzak (or however it is spelt). Either that or just static.

   Static, yeah!  If you fell asleep in front of the TV and woke up at 2 in the morning, it would be all snowy!   :orly:

  I remember computer classes at my high school.  I probably still have my floppy disk around here somewhere.   :nerdy:

 We had a special computer classroom filled with them.  Not sure I ever saw one in the library though.  :chin:

I had "natural science" in high school in the late 80's. We spent 12 hours in 3 years in the computer room.

My brother had those. He's five years younger but was always ahead of me with technical stuff, except for explosives/pyro stuff. :nerd!:
