Wild and crazy alternative:

Have a small computer for text processing and hire someone to network the two systems. Thus, a PDP 11 or small VAX can be used for real text editing thus improving overall productivity by several orders of magnitude and the network can be used to transfer files, "submit jobs", etc.

This technique has been used, more or less successfully, for years and years. See PWB Unix (Programmer's Workbench UNIX) for a late example of this.
