it also reminds me of a story in the hackers dictionary,  about a
programmer in hospital, friends tried to take computer round and were
stopped by the guard, what is this (computer) comptuers not on list,
(television, typewriterwere)  so they went back came back the next day
and said it was a tele typewriter,  type on the typewriter and you see
the text on the television.   guard checks back on list and sees
television,  and typewriter) and lets them in.

i wonder how you do ctrl-alt-delete :)  not that you need it with linux
you use ctrl-alt-backspace

lol

I used to have an IBM golf ball connected to a mk14 - but mainly as a printer. It was fun just to make it like the teletype on the football results.
 Still have the mk14. Still secretly want a teletype.
