I had a Commodore 64 back in the early 80s, in the Seattle area. For a time, I typed in stuff from books and magazines and saved them to tape. Got a diskette drive, but it broke. For a while, I had only the cassette drive again, and actually purchased a tape with Microprose's Silent Service from a supplier in England (this kind of software on cassette was virtually unheard of in the US by that time). It took weeks to arrive, but kept me going for months! I typed in the Speedscript word processor from Compute! magazine. Each line had a checksum at the end, I think I got it right the first time. It was by far the best word processor available for the C-64 at the time.
