I have a model 19 in the basement, and various other pieces.  Some (my 
bride) would say that "his excuse for keeping it is..".  It's actually 
my *reason*, and that is for my children.  Our twins (age 6), 
particularly my boy, is fascinated with electronics and mechanical 
things.  I want him to see, smell, hear, learn, and fully experience TTY 
(maybe not the loop betwen hands, however).  The foundations upon its 
technology are the very underpinnings of what we have today in our 
highest technology.  Perspective is everything and there's lots to learn.

So thanks, Greenkeyers, for being here and keeping TTY alive.  I think 
my son and daughter, someday, will understand and have a great 
appreication for what has gone before.

In my estimation "the list is working" very well, thank you.
