We didnt have a computer to write our stories with, we had type writers…
and word processers..they were like large electric typewriters some with a screen
one day they invented computers
they came in hundreds of cardboard boxes with a armful of instuction books and all you could really do with them is play games
they games were extremely exciting…
I remember one where a plane travelled horizontally across the screen above a city flying lower and lower, the idea was you flatten the city before you crash into it
the games were inside a cassette, like a small music cassette and placed inside a cassette player
there were new fangled things like mouses and stuff or the internet
I've heard of these machines. Make a mistake and you would have to start all over again or worse yet use a product called 'White-Out' which was like paint. You would 'paint' over the mistake, let it dry, and then type over it with the correct letter. The thing is though the White-Out 'paint' was bright and if there was a spot on a page it would stand out like an Arab in Reagan airport on 9/14/2001. In addition it had a very, very, sloppy look to it...actually makes me physically ill thinking about it. Such barbarics back then, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who used those machines ate their own young when hungry, bunch of sicko's.
I have a couple on my desk too paris :D Here they call it white-out. Its just that when we returned to Pakistan ppl used to call it something different, like fluid or something, just not tippex, so one had to call it what everyone called it else noone knew what the hell u were talking about. Just like stupid kids in my class would call a ruler a footrule or some crap like that and I would get starred at when I called it a ruler. As smart as I am I figured they wouldn;t call a rubber a rubber either! After a little thinking I thought they must call it an eraser instead so asked the girl next to me for an eraser, only to be met with a completely baffled pair of eyes. Ummmm, rubber? Ye she understood that one.
that tipex u ppl are talking about is known simply as fluid
Lead pencil (stupid name as there is no lead in it ) is pencil or kachi pencil
Ballpen is ballpen
Lazy daisy - you liar. I have caught you red handed . The game I mentioned we used to play it using the same cassette player
on **commodore 64 **
^ That was a COMPUTER , not some video game. We used to type the programes in basic languages after reading from book and then type “Run” then the computer would make weird lines in different direction and other time it would give syntax error
Played wonderboy ??? I was a champion 
God I haven;t heard that in ages.
