[GreenKeys] Wood tables

[Ken Kinderman]

In 1963 I was messing with a Model 15. One day I drove past a store selling
used office furniture.. spilling out of the store onto the sidewalk. I
instantly recognized a wood table with a distinctive felt top and those
unique hole cutouts. It was a beautiful solid walnut, with no nameplate on
the front. My guess is that when some head honcho CEO wanted a machine in
his office, he (and it was always a he) needed something special... no
clunky metal tables. Only the best would do.

I bought it cheap because who needed a table with holes in the top?

Alas, gone forever.
