[GreenKeys] Video - Model 26 working / baudotrss question

[Ralph Mowery]

There are plenty of window computers on ebay for less than $ 50 and another $ 25 for shipping. Just the computer , no keyboard/mouse or monitor.  In the last 10 or so years  I have bought several and they all seem to work fine.  All but 1  is still going, well, it is too, as I did replace the power supply when I found one very inexpensive.   I just bought one about 2 months ago for  $ 65 that included shipping.  It was a windows 10.  I removed that hard drive and put in another I bought for about $ 20 and paid about $ 5 for a win XP operating COA.  I wanted a fast XP computer to run some old programs on that win 10 either requires a lot of finagling  with  or will not run.  Most any computer that will run XP will do anything with the rtty.  I don't know anything about the Macs but with windows you need at least 2 computers.  One to use, and one to fall back on when the one you are using crashes or gets a virus.

I was doing the windows game for now because if anything went wrong, I wanted to fry the cheap netbook not my Mac haha!

That will be in the future for sure, I'd like to have this work as both, that way I can make it "portable" ! Haha
