Has anybody ever seen a special Tymshare model
ASR-33? It's more or less
a standard ASR-33, except that it has a three button CCU and the silver
plate on the front (the one which would ordinarily have the Teletype name
and logo) is painted blue (DECsystem-10 blue, I would imagine!) and lettered
"Tymshare | Time Sharing Terminal."
I remember them well, and while I don't have one of those particular
units, I do have the blue 'faceplace' off of the front.
Keep wondering which came first: the 'Tymshare' terminals, or the 'Time
Tunnel' TV show. Why? The 'hourglass' logo on each is curiously
similar...
