But as I understand it, there's no "computing" there except for the word
processor. Is that correct?

Anybody have one of these? It's an electronic

1980. It looks similar to the Epson HX-20 (microcassette drive, same
"slate" form factor, etc.), but it's just a WP, not a full computer.
I do, it's a nice little machine. Mine I think didn't quite work right.
It
worked on something like 4 AA batteries and saved its data on the
microcassette as you mentioned. Looks like a little laptop with a
(single?) line LCD - kind of like the Tandy 100.
