[GreenKeys] not many of us left

[gil smith]

Hi Lee:

Well, as of this morning, there are 359 members on greenkeys.  A few years 
ago it was under 300.  I used to be able to contact ebay buyers, but they 
don't allow that anymore (ebay gets suckier every year).  Once was a day 
when I would see folks bidding on tty gear and send them an invite to 
greenkeys -- we got quite a few folks that way.  But still, greenkeys is 
slowly growing.

Getting older, yes -- but hey, I am still 49 for a couple more months!  Got 
a few more decades left (hopefully) to keep tty stuff running.

But let's all remember that greenkeys is a great archive of tty 
information.  Got an anecdote, tidbit, or how-to-fix-a-machine story?  Post 
it!  We need your expertise.
To be a bit less-gentle than Lee:  post it before you're dead!  Or before 
you forget everything.

Sobering stuff Lee.  Guess I should go do something productive.
