Yeah, they sucked, you couldn't fix your mistakes, let alone insert a sentence just before another, or, god forbid, move a whole section of your text. Plus, you only had one copy of your text, you had to retype all of it if you wanted to make a copy. And entirely retype it another time into another hardware device if you wanted to do any formatting at all.
I'm glad we have better options nowadays.
Good fitness machines though, because you better have strong fingers to type all day long with these devices.
- tomjen3 5y agoThose are typewritters (and manual ones at that, if there is any issue with your fingers), op was talking about word processors, which have almost exactly none of the issues you mentioned. You can see the 8bit guy demo one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNs-QIMHCJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNs-QIMHCJA
- sacado2 5y agoFair enough, I didn't know these devices. I don't see how different they are from a computer with only one application installed, though.
