G.A. OMs;

Suppose the technology that exists since the '80s never was.

What do you think Teletype Machines would look like today?

My feeling is that the 28 and 35 would probably still be in production.

I have used a 37 KSR. The coolest thing it did was to be able
do backspace from the keyboard but when the tape was punched and you
ran it through the tape reader, it was definitely bad on the eyes! :-)

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of
Parliament!], "Pray, Mr. Babbage - if you put into the
machine WRONG FIGURES, will the RIGHT ANSWERS come out?"
I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion
of ideas that could provoke such a question.
