[GreenKeys] "I'm not a cop, but I play one on TV!"

GM OMs;

I started playing with Teletype machines around 1968.

I don't recall there being nylon ribbons - at least when I
went to the stationery store to get Underwood ribbons, that's
the only way they came.

I played with several colors: black, purple, blue, and green.

I *LOVED* using a green pen in high school, but lemme tell you:
after going though a box of green ribbons, I NEVER wanted to see
green ink again!  :-)

Professor Goddard does not know the relation between
action and reaction and the need to have something
better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems
to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high
schools.             -New York Times editorial, 1921
