Does anyone remember being taught in school to use a computer without a mouse? Or was that just me. This was back in like 2001

Man i probably need to learn this back. Working at my current job gets me cramped in a small space with no place for a mouse and the trackpad is making me lose my mind.

I worked in a small space and wasn't a fan of the trackpad. Then I discovered the trackball mouse. It saves space by the fact you don't move the mouse around, but rather you use your thumb to move the trackball around. It was weird at first, but now it feels natural and I prefer it over a regular mouse.

You know, I didn't even think about that! I don't game on the PC, so maybe that's fine. It works fine to navigate 3d modeling programs.

HP tech support taught me to navigate around windows with the Tab key around that time. 2 hours later we determined my motherboard was toast.

I remember in 6th form college in 94 being told not to use the DOS command line that I was used to and to use the default Win 3.1 instead

What computers? I was the last of grade 12s(matriculants) to do maths using a log book,1985. It was forbidden to use calculators in exams. And typing was for girls only. At the time the Commodore was awesome and would’ve been so great to learn and use in school. And it had no mouse. That was reserved for Apple Macintosh owners
