[GreenKeys] Ribbon re-inking

[H.E.Robert]

Hi All,

When I was in High School in the early 70's, we used 33-ASR's for 
time-share computer access, dial-up
to a Burroughs B-5500!!!  Purple, Blue, and Black were all very common 
ink colors.  The contrast was
best against the "Canary" rolls of paper!  But then again, mind-blowing 
drugs, and Psychedelic stuff was
everywhere!!! Gee I miss those days, the smell of a freshly oiled 
Teletype, that burning resistor on the SMD
card!  I always "passed" on the "drugs", now I wonder if that was the 
right choice??? :-\

Just Bob!....just reminiscing.....
