[GreenKeys] Teletype 33 GE DigiNet

[tony j. podrasky]

Seen one?

Heck - It was my first access to a real computer!

J.R. Popkin-Clurman, the inventor of Color TV lived
close by to me and I met him when I got involved in RTTY.

(I think there is a note about him in the ARRL Handbook)

Anyway, he managed to get his hands onto one of those
things and I learned BASIC on it.

He managed to get unlimited-access to GE's DigiNet and
I could play for hours.

He was rather eccentric: had lots of money, but was
cheap beyond compare: He'd print his QSL cards using a
block-wood letters hold-in-your-hand kit he got while
in Communist China. Had some neat equipment - and the
first 28-ASR I'd ever seen! W2JPC as I recall.
