Inspired by John Nagle, I had a lot of fun at a couple of Steampunk meets.
The kids were really enthralled at texting across the room.

I have offered to pick up Doc's TTY collection and re-distribute it at
Dayton and elsewhere.
As we discussed in a previous thread, I can store it in my garage in NC
until it finds new owners.

It is such awesome technology and we should do what we can to keep it out
of the scrapyard.

Cheers
