[GreenKeys] Under 40?! Call out for age...

[Paul Kasley]

62. First TTY was a WU 2B strip printer at age 16. Moved up thru M15, 
M19, a couple WU Model 100's with the moving platen, culminating in the 
late 70s with a 28ASR. The 28ASR was special - for that I built a 
Motorola 6800 controller to do electronic gear shift and signal routing. 
It was hand coded the hard way - without a development system or an 
assembler-linker-loader. Fell away during the 80's, then started a 
collection in the 90's. I currently provide room and board for a 2B 
(M14), M19, M26, M28KSR (skin-tight), M28KSR (floor), M28ASR, M32ASR, 
M33ASR, M43KSR, and M40KDP. Also co-op'ed at TTY R&D through my college 
years. Relatives don't understand why I have these machines. Neither do I.

I mostly lurk, commenting only when I think I have something of value to 
contribute.
