My first TTY was the DECwriter II. My first terminal was a Beehive BH100. I

it was super cool until I discovered emacs at school on our 11/750...

I miss my old Televideo 910. I wonder if Steve
Albany stole it?
At ASU, when I was a kid pulling DECwriter printers out the bin to check
for printouts in half-duplex, they had something called an Infoton. It
was
uppercase only and had the worst keyboard, ever.
It felt like typing on
a
wet sponge.
Heck, I miss my Beehive Super Bees.
