My first machine had no hard drive.

Storage was on cassette audio tapes.

Tandy Color Computer - 16K Extended Color Basic

Save your BASIC or Assembler program to cassette tape, again and again, just in case.

You had casettes?

We had paper tape and thought it was a huge improvement over the stone tablets we started with.
