(Looking through there, I'm getting a little nostalgic... I learned to type on a Brother Word Processor in 6th grade. Wrote my first "real" story (~30 pages) at that time. It was great because there was absolutely no distraction from the writing itself, and it did basic stuff like spell checking before outputting to a piece of typing paper. You could also use it as a typewriter if you wanted to. Of course, it wasn't really portable.)
