Seen an original Old English manuscript in the flesh (well, skin, anyway).
Yep. Done that. Smithsonian, some traveling exhibit that I don't remember now.
Painstakingly centered and right-justified lines on an IBM Executive typewriter.
And on a manual typewriter. Ugh.
Conducted a long-distance relationship via (what would come to be called) electronic mail and instant messaging — before 1984.
OK, I didn't technically conduct an LDR that way, though I did have an email account (usenet) in 1983. However, my then-gf didn't do computers so the LDR was by phone and frequent train trips. Had an '@' address by 1986 and had the State of Texas refuse me a custom license plate with the symbol (I was wex@mcc which would have fit on a custom plate, too).
