TI Silent 700's: Update

Sellam is right, that it is JUST a printing dumb terminal. And an Apple I is JUST a home microcomputer. But for many of us, the Silent 700 was an AWESOME device. For many of us, it was our very first exposure to any sort of PORTABLE computing. And not only was it portable, it was EASILY portable, lightweight, reliable, . . . It had acoustic cups, it printed, it would connect to damn near ANYTHING, it was the neatest thing, yet! Small caps was a disappointment for lower case, but it worked. 300 baud is no longer viable. Thermal paper with a coarse dot matrix doesn't compare to inkjet. But if I were to succomb to a craving to reagin my youth through reacquiring my past possessions, and finally getting all of the stuff that I had once lusted after, then getting back my silent 700 would have to be near the top of the list. Oh, if only that t'were all that were needed to make me young again! -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin(a)xenosoft.com
