Somewhat off-topic I guess, but I was watching a video of one of my
favourite rock bands (Cold Chisel, with Jimmy Barnes as front man), "Khe
Sanh" complete with the lyrics, when I saw a reference to Telex machines
that I'd never twigged to before.
So, I dug up the lyrics from http://genius.com/Cold-chisel-khe-sanh-lyrics
And the legal pads were yellow
Hours long, pay-packets lean
And the telex writers clattered
Where the gunships once had been
Now, if only I could find a song reference to Teletypes... Hmmm, a couple
of obscure ones, but nothing well-known.
