[GreenKeys] Speaking about ITTY...

[Henning Treumann]

 Paul,

please keep up ITTY!
As you know we Germans are more focused on point to point communication by
i-Telex and
its added services. But I like ITTY very much at shows to display how press
wire services worked in the past.
Last weekend at the Hannover maker faire we had a visitor who was
journalist and she was surprised to see
that old time news service in real and working :-) ,of what she had only
heard from older colleagues.
We had a Siemens T100RO with a Dovetron TU at the corner of our booth as
eye and earcatcher printing the Europe channel
continiously.
