As teletypes were ugly the decwriter was elegant.... Both noisy but in
different ways....

They are 100 pounds or so. Yes they are very like
teletypes. If you
want, we might be able to hold one, or you could go for a IV which is
about the size of a typewriter.

We seem to have a surfeit of Decwriters. Would
anyone be
interested in one?
Interested, yes -- those are teletypes, right? ... but how big are they? I certainly
can't make it to RI right now to pick one up. :) (really too bad...)
