They don't need viruses

"I need to send my Brother Word Processor files to someone who has a PC. How do I do that?"

100% data loss.

"I have these disks from a Brother Word Processor and I need the files off them. The Brother died."

100% data loss.

Not just that

I had the misfortune of having to work on these in J-school. I could type faster than the damn daisy wheel would print. And it took nearly as long to save a file as to print it. Yes I timed it: Five minutes to print a file, two to save it. Yes, two minutes to save a (<10 pages) text file.
