   Any
challengers for worst storage device?   
  How about writing down a program listing from the screen (that's writing 
  it down with pen and paper) and later retyping it into the machine. On a 
  Timex-Sinclair (ZX81 or whatever) keyboard, of course. 
Aw, come on Tony -- you mean your ZX81 doesn't have a printer?  You can get 
one at any car boot for a couple of pounds, you know ;>)  Of course, you 
still have to type it back in, unless you splurge and buy a cassette recorder 
. . .
