[GreenKeys] [Greenkeys] teletype at Steampunk Expo

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

makes you wonder though seeing  some of the  creations at these  events as 
to how may historical artifacts are gored and raped to   make  artwork.....
 
reminds me of the woman I caught buying  Celluloid keyed   typewriters and 
busting them up to  rape the keys  fro    women's jewelry, name badges etc...
pretty sad....

Just for fun, I hauled out my 28KSR, 28TD, and 28LPR to a Steampunk
convention this AM.
Had 'em all wired together so folks could punch up a tape, read it
through the TD and see the results.
I removed all the covers so they could see just what marvelous
mechanical creations these machines are.
No where near as fancy as John Nagle's excellent work
<_http://www.aetherltd.com/_ (http://www.aetherltd.com/) >, but folks had 
fun with it anyways.
I made up a tape with Header, To, From, and Message fields and paused
the TD after each field so that people could type in the appropriate
info - then they were astounded when I pulled the resulting tape off
the reperf and ran it through the TD - gave the them tape as a
souvenir.
At other times I just ran a "Welcome to the Expo" message as a tape
loop out of the punch directly into the TD so they could see it all
working together.
The display elicited a few "I remember those things" and many "I
didn't dream such a thing was actually possible!"
