Believe it or not before th$F}at time all dictation, letters, bills reports, etc. were done by hand. The first real word processor appeared in the 193$G}07s. This machine, which used punched paper to store information could be used to produce form letters and contracts whic$H}h companies used on a regular basis. It was not until the fifties and sixties when the cost of sophisticated electronics $I}came down that word processing really took off. The first real word processor that could store information, allow the user $J}to search for specific characters, words and/or phrases and make cu>rrections using magnetic tape. These tapes not only s$K}tored information, butcould be erased and used for other documents. Within ten years afterthe introduction of the mag (ma$L}gnetic) card typewriter a new industryhad been born and over one hundred companies were producing wordprocessing systems$M} of one type or another. The most common type of word processing system is the stand-alone,such as the ATARI Word Process$N}or. The stand-alone word processor cancome in one of two forms with a display or without one. the ATARI Word Process$f gan>mes theyare fully programmable and can be used to store and retrieve informationof the owner's own choosing.
