Hehe... When I was at school, one of the teachers paid something like 

trivial wordprocessor program in ROM, and when you press a button, it 
types the whole lot out onto paper using the integrated dot-matrix (!!) 
printer.

It was the very height of technology. I mean, sure you can't actually 
save your work, only print it. But it's so much better than a typewriter 
because you can edit before you print!
