[GreenKeys] OT, though some of the keys are green: Burroughs L2000 and L9000 (Dayton, OH)

[steve shumaker]

Ahhh   I've often wondered what the difference was!  I've never given in 
to the Facebook urge but occasionally try to look at items in their 
marketplace.  Sometimes they would open, other times I'd be denied.  
Never understood what it was.
