I've been chasing the ace since day one. As soon as I could afford expansions and "better stuff" for my Vic-20, I bought it. I remember having the RAM to type in, save and use VIC-40 in an issue of Compute (messed with the video display to get - you guessed it - a 40 col. display).
Other than Run/Stop and CTRL, I didn't know any keyboard shortcuts.
Same with my C64. When GEOS rolled around, I got a 1531 mouse and used it in joystick mode to get an honest-to-goodness GUI on the system. Loved it, wrote many papers with it in highschool.
Oddly enough I sort of went retro when I got a PC and really started using the web. VI, rTIN, Lynx and other shell apps on the dialup ISP I worked for...well it was a given you'd have to memorize keyboard shortcuts there.
Once I got Netscape, WinSock and Windows 3.11 to play nicely together...heh, that was all she wrote.
