The last year of college my boyfriend (now husband of 33 years) bought an Apple computer. It had no hard drive OR floppy. Instead we saved two or three pages of type at a time to a cassette tape, which took about twenty minutes, but it was still better for editing than the typewriter. <br /><Beth Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447148196867821907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-48290524530141489372015-06-20T09:24:26.918-07:002015-06-20T09:24:26.918-07:00Hi, Patricia, and all the rest of you who started ...Hi, Patricia, and all the rest of you who started on typewriters.
