I tried to edit 80-page book on paper tape in 1977. It was more than 10 rolls weighing 10 kilos. Finnish Government said NO to such waste.
So I edited it on 8 kilo core memory holding few pages, hoping that the core stays intact overnight.
Final blow was when professor doubted if he can accept thesis written by a computer. Because it was little bit like cheating.
