I have them but don't use them. Trying to learn a simple CAD program.

My opinion on that is Old school tells me there is no simple CAD program. At least I haven't found one yet. Flame suit on, go for it.

The Wife is a book designer and editor. The programs she uses are very similar to those used for machining. She also used to teach computers to seniors. Now if I can convince her to help me......

Yes, blackboards were made of real slate mined from the earth, and we used a substance called chalk to write on them.
Still got one I'm my home office.

You might be Old School if you remember being kept after school and made to clean the erasers and blackboard and then sweep the floor,

Our first phone had a hand crank generator to ring the operator. I still have the New Way engine that uses a coil like the model t one in the picture, and a drip feed oiler on the cylinder. I still have a CPM computer that has dual 8" disc drives and a daisy wheel printer, and it still works. My 1954 MG has points and an emergency hand crank in case of a weak battery.

You might be Old School if your secretary used an IBM Selectric typewriter and carbon paper. Hell, you might be Old School if you ever had a secretary.

You might be Old School if your car has a cigarette lighter.
