[GreenKeys] For the old timers. Ever wonder what the kids in College were doing on the 33 or 35's ?

We exchanged chess moves in the early 80' on the German/European telex system - but only when the big Boss went on a business trip :) .
In 1985, the big beast (a huge and loud Olivetti) went into retirement (dumpster) - yeah, I know.

It was not all serious education

For me it was Star Wars on one of the 35's in West Chester State's computer lab. Which had a 33 ASR and at least 4 KSRs. Not to mention a couple IBM 129 key punches.
