You’re just below the curve of home computers becoming ubiquitous. I’m 43, and through most of middle school papers had to be handwritten in cursive.
At home my computer was from Radio Shack, hooked to a TV, and had a Daisy Wheel printer - fonts were hardware. I got my first IBM PC in 8th grade, with a 20mb hard drive & dual 5 1/4" floppies.
