[GreenKeys] wooden-cased TTY on ebay

[Herb Graeber]

OK, I'll show my age.  Am I the only former Xerox
employee who remembers Xerox's "You have a
STAKE in our name" campaign in which they offered
prizes to the Xerox employee who turned in the greatest
number of competitors that were improperly using the
Xerox name.  For example, a copy shop that made "Xerox
Copies" on a IBM copier.   Or another that did Xeroxing.
 Oh, the prize was a box of Kansas city steaks.  :>)
  (I know this is off-topic.)
