I'm surprised there is so much interest in a baudot machine.
Me too. I have one, and I only got it because I also happen to have a
Model 15, not that they can talk to each other (being free for the
cost of gas was an essential point - I wouldn't have paid $$$ for it)
Not all Teletype applications involve computers, or computers that speak
ASCII.
Are you sure because the first PC, the IBM PC from the 1980's I think uses
ascii I think.
Bill, you could not be more wrong. Windows XP was the first computer. A visitor to LSSM told me that a while back. I was so relieved, as that meant I didn't have to deal with these huge heavy boxes anymore.

soda -> keyboard I use that as a sort of litmus test. If someone says "look at my ANCIENT VINTAGE COMPUTER!" while pointing at a game running on their 486, I know not to associate with that person. Life improved dramatically once I started applying that and some similar litmus tests. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
