Not dependable? Really? When I first got my Apple II the cassette
tape was all I had for a couple of years before I saved enough
money to get the 5.5 floppy drive. I never had the first problem
with it. Just lucky I guess or a good cassette player.

Sure! You could _save_ the program to audio tape - but how often
were you able to _load_ from audio tape? In that respect, the TI
was pretty weak. We had better luck with reel-to-reel at higher
tape speeds than with cassette, but it was still not very dependable.
