[TR] Cheers!

[TERRY SMITH]

In 1985 had a Zenith PC clone and MS WORD version 1.  Loaded it from the one 5 and a half inch floppy drive, took out the disk and inserted the floppy to write to.  Given I wrote my first book on a 1918 Underwood, I remain amazed to this day I can change page 25 of 274 without having anymore to retype all of them!


Terry Smith, '59 TR3A

I thought it was the neatest thing.  Looking back, what a PITA.  But it was still worth it.
