[GreenKeys] wooden-cased TTY on ebay

[David Christ]

Scotdh Tape, Kleenex etc.

Reminds me of a Navy MARS meeting I was at 40 years ago.  Something 
needed to be copied and I offered to do it saying we had a good IBM 
xerox machine.  One of the other attendees who had Xerox connections 
blurted out excitedly "Don't call it that!  Don't call it that!"  I 
think at the time Xerox and IBM were in a big patent suit at the time 
and I think there was a lot of direction coming down at Xerox.
