Well, Jan, I'm dating myself with you, my high school had the same set up -- we had 1/3 electric IBMs and the rest manual typewriters. During summers I worked for a small town newspaper and they had only manuals and they had been pretty beat up and were a pain to use. Literally. My hands would ache every night.
