[GreenKeys] 28ASR Type Hammer?

[Lee Mushel]

Hey, guys!   This is a great day!   I've been sitting here for months now
with my old model 14/19 junk, bright green with envy of you people with
model 28's but once again, that old stuff just keeps pounding away!  I feel
much better now after that comment on 14 reperfs!  Now, if I could just
convince at least one of these new emcomm kids that the key has some
advantages over the computer keyboard I could die happy!
