[GreenKeys] A few more TTY videos

[Lee Mushel]

I watch everyone's comments on this and I guess I'd have to admit to being 
really sad,   You see, at any time I choose I can sit at a machine, 28 KSR 
at 60 speed or 28 ASR at 100 and start typing.   I did take a typing class 
in high school since there were so few alternatives to take at that time and 
have no trouble keeping ahead of the machines. Yes, that was 60 years 
ago.....  But an event occurred in my life only a few years ago that not 
only saddened me at the time but forces some "reinforcement" of that feeling 
when I read about "experiences of this sort."

I invited a young and newly licensed fellow to visit my shack since I felt 
that it would benefit him to see some ham activity that went a bit beyond 
the usual hand held/Sunday night net stuff.

And I sat him down at the 28 KSR and told him to go ahead and "play, you 
can't hurt anything."   And I took off the cover so he could see all of this 
marvelous stuff happening.   After a few seconds I could see he was bored to 
death and so I stopped the torture.   Of course, there's really more to see 
with a 15 or 19 but those machines of mine require some time to set up and I 
haven't run anything like a fox box or 14 typing reperf for "years and 
years."

But on the other hand I did find a HAL 6000 manual the other day and I guess 
I've never even bothered to get the unit I bought on eBay working.   But who 
knows....
