Ah, I remember doing that, and writing code on paper. I had a green Mead spiral notebook full of TI-BASIC code. Then I would sit and type it into the computer (a TI99) and then save it to tape... which was an actual audio cassette tape, in a separate tape player, with the mic input shoved up next to the computer's speaker.
My dad and his friend, who also had a TI99 would transmit programs back and forth to each other over the 2 meter HAM bands late at night. One of them would hold the radio mic keyed next to the computer's speaker and the other would be holding the radio speaker up to the mic input on the computer.
