I don’t understand this sentence.
1. I don’t know what “Less writing” means.
2. Does “get the idea” mean “misunderstand”?
3. I don’t understand why this sentence has “across” in it.

1. It means that the revision I suggested is shorter that the sentence was originally.
2. It is a way of expressing "understanding". The concept is that gaining an understanding is the same as "getting an idea".
3. It's there because I was typing too quickly and using sayings and shortcuts instead of proper English.
Revised sentence:
"It means less words are needed, and the concept is communicated more efficiently."

I don’t know what “This was back” means.

It's an English expression used by a speaker/writer to refer to events that happened in the past.
Revised sentence:
"This was years ago, when IBM personal computers and computerized accounting programs were new in schools."

What I should say here!? “Chuckle”??? “BS”????

Maybe "chuckle". Now that I think about it, another thing I learned from that class is it's very possible to bruise your fingertips from using a calculator too much.
