Michael,

Yup the 50's console TV on the wall an the 1970's tractor feed printer - not
a Teletype at all - it looks to be of the DEC and Centronics genre.

Fellow Greenkeyers - As you can see via the link below my friend Michael has
helped us exposed some technological fiction. The picture has been going
around the  net - not sure if it came through Greenkeys.
