Why would you have to retype them all?  Wouldn't retyping to the end of the chapter suffice?  (Unless you are one of those "free association" writers who writes for pages and pages all in one sentence with no punctuation, all in lower case... ;-) )

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!

Back in 86 or 87 when the British car list started I was using a 128K Mac and VT100 dumb terminal emulator software connected to a Mini in HP Labs. I was using Elle as a UNIX editor. First on autos.rec then on the British car mail list when it first started. twakeman at hplabs.com

 Now, if only Google mail didn't put 90+% of the FOT and Triumph mail traffic in their spam folder, short stopping the emails before they even get to my computer, life would be so much better.

I wasn't a subscriber at the start but I remember, back in the mid 90's, dragging my old AT laptop, mouse external dial-up modem into the hotel room, looked up the local access dial-up number, down loaded the digest, copied it into a text editor to type my responses off-line, then reconnected to send out the responses.  I thought it was the neatest thing.  Looking back, what a PITA.  But it was still worth it.
