Oh, I thought the question was asking if wire was ever used as a computer
storage media. Wire recorders for audio did exist. Also, don't forget
that record cutters weren't that uncommon for home use, I have a Packard
Bell Phon-O-Cord sitting right here next to me :) Sure, they were never
as nice as tape, but it was *much* easier to find a machine to play back
your recording.
