[GreenKeys] First TTY Machine!

[H. Kurth Bemis]

I'd like to thank everyone who responded and offered information,
assistance or just encouraging words.  It will be a week or two before I
get the machine, so I'll be reading the supplied docs regarding the M15.

I noticed the seller also is selling a box of rolls (12) for about 40
bucks.  Is it wise to buy paper from ebay or is there another source
that is better?  Is there anything I should beware of when purchasing
paper for the M15?

Here's the auction, from the same seller for rolls of paper:

And here's another auction I found for tape rolls:

While I'm not sure I need the tape at the moment, I think that I would
like to have extra rolls on hand.  I mean, what good is a TTY if you
can't impress your friends and family by having it print something. :-)

Thanks again to everyone who responded.  I'm am anxious to get my hands
on the machine and share my experience with the group.
