Something made me think of this recently. So my new 'avatar' for the Computer Group page/account is my first computer-style device: a Brother Word Processor. I bought it at an office equipment store, which is also where I got my ribbons and disks.
I used colored ink 'ribbons': blue, green, red, and brown, as well as black. And..I had 2 or maybe 3 'font' disks: Script as well as Pica and Elite. I used blue or green ribbons with Script for letters--which was mostly what I did back then. Well, that and my 'writing', of course.
And yes, it had a Floppy Disk drive, for storage. You can also see the 'handle'...which could be used to carry it, when the keyboard was 'up' (stored, covering the screen). One thing I especially liked about this: I could actually 'type' when I wanted: insert paper (usually stationery) & 'write' letters by typing onto the stationery, which was usually 4 in. by 6 in. (I think I actually still have 1 of those stationery pads here!).
