I'm pleased, almost weekly, as people come  to our radio station and see the 
Model 15 printing out the AP news headlines and "Today In History".

I really thought it would go unnoticed but I was wrong...one car dealer 
couldn't tear himself away for his appointment  LOL.  Folks really do 
remember these machines from past experiences.  The most common remark is 
that they'd thought they would never see one again.  The AP technician shows 
up about once a year to service the computer that replaced the 
TTY's....can't wait for his reaction.

It prints out history at 5:30 in the morning for the morning drive time DJ. 
Later, at 10:30AM,  it prints out the headlines.  Kids are fascinated with 
it too.  One visiting student wanted to take it apart to see how it works 
....  I did that for him :>)
