[GreenKeys] Re: MIdwest weather and the 33 ASR Teletype

[Don Robert House]

I just drove 200 miles in the terrible Midwest winter weather.  We  
have 15 inches of snow up here.  A couple of days ago in Terre Haute,  
Indiana it was 61 degrees.
Of course then came the tornados.   Mother Nature is especially  
gruesome this winter.  The average hurricane kills less than 5  
people.  These tornados killed 54 people.
Methinks the NWS and NOAA need to improve their warning system.  Also  
everyone in a rural area without a Tornado Siren nearby should have an  
NOAA S.A.M.E. radio
programmed for their county.  You can get one online for less than $40.

I last checked on Wayne's 33 yesterday it was over $600.

The classic computer people really want that machine as it is  
completely restored.  You are not likely to find one so well restored.

I agree wholeheartedly with Jack...  WAY TO GO WAYNE!!!   In 1972 you  
could buy a 35 ASR new for about $2,500.

Way to go, Wayne!

A 33, with RS232, can also be usd with "Heavymetal"...
