Yes, I also spent my undergrad years with an electric typewriter, which I felt was a huge improvement on the manual I grew up with as this had reloadable erase tape! In my first job I was still on typewriters but they had costly IBM Selectrics that could even keep several lines of type in memory so that if you had to, you could erase words or a line or so and then have it retype.
By the time I went to grad school my personal computer was outdated and I only had a dot matrix printer for it. Of course we also had a computer lab with laserjet printing by then and we had Internet connectivity so it was a big change.
