Do you know how to use a typewriter?

[WCUgirl]

This might seem like a really stupid topic, but oh well. I'm curious.

Today, I gave the runner at our law firm (a local college student who works part-time) an assignment, but it had to be done on the typewriter. She was like, "Okay, but how do I work this thing?" She had never used a typewriter before. That blew my mind -- I've never met anyone who hasn't. I think she may have been born in 1985 or 1986.

So, I thought I'd bring the question over here. Have you ever used a typewriter? If not, post the year you were born.
