[GreenKeys] TTY 33 ASR rough-cut video

[Harold Hallikainen]

There were, and maybe still are, electronic signature machines that write
a signature with a pen. I saw them at a broadcast convention once where
they were being promoted to send "hand signed" fund raising letters.

And then, I still have my Houston Instrument DMP-29 plotter (
https://www.picclickimg.com/NSwAAOSwnsljKLkH/BAUSCH-LOMB-Houston-Instrument-HIPLOT-DMP-29-1983.webp
). It will print ASCII text. I'm thinking it would be fun to drive it with
ITTY.

The robotic arm writing the current time is great! It would be great if it
erased the time once a minute and then wrote the new time. And, of course,
it would have an NTP client to keep it accurate...
