[GreenKeys] WBR70

[David Christ]

Actually I still have a half a box of the UPI purple ones.  All still 
wrapped in the original cellophane.  Unfortunately I expect that they 
have dried out over the years.

And then there were the re-inkers.  Nasty stuff that ink.  Good thing 
colored finger tips weren't a problem at my job.
