Hello, everyone!

I just subscribed today, so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Evan
Jones. I am 18 and live near Waco, TX.

I was introduced to vintage computers and related hardware when I
discovered LGR ( a great computer collecting channel on Youtube) a few
years ago. I was fascinated! Before I knew it, I was scouring Craig's List
for an old system. I ended up getting really lucky when I found an IBM 5160
with a SCSI drive and 640 k of ram for a really good price. I'm hoping to
get a XT-IDE card working for it soon. My collection of stuff on my desk
also includes 2 Royal typewriters (one 40's and one 50's vintage) that I've
tinkered with a little to get them working well.

I don't own any teletype hardware yet, but I would like tinker with one,
one day. The "mechanicalness" of teletypes is absolutely beautiful to me!
If I ever got one, I would probably primarily use it as a terminal (perhaps
with my IBM).

It's great to meet you all!

-Evan Jones
