Did anyone actually use this pre internet?

I think I used the hash sign to mean number a few times.

Only # with magazine issues for studies etc.

The @ was always pretty redundant before then

Bob Dylan certainly did so with his Rainy Day Women. No's 12 and 35 i believe.

Whether that was actually before the internet was invented i wouldnt know.

Don't know about typewriters, but I just googled the 1st computer I had, and they are on that....

It was the BBC Micro

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Typewriters. I had my Grandad's old big green upright one. I wish I had taken it when I left home. My Mother threw it out.

I used all the symbols. # for number, @ for at and & for and - as it should be.
