Not just you! Of course not! And having to clean the ink out of the letters every so often. And getting ink on your fingers when you changed ribbons. And using carbon paper to make copies. And the fact that you needed enough free space on your desk for the carriage to go out to the left as you typed. Man, I'm gonna start crying in a minute.

To be clear, that's a photo from a university collection of old business machines, not my personal photo:
