It's nice to see these machines in action!
That is a fast papertape reader! I love it!
Next time, please show the papertape rewinder so that we can see it on the
video. It was out of frame.
That terminal needs some tender loving care with the glass. Bring it to the
next repair workshop!
Why was there an error at the beginning of loading Lunar Lander?
More practice in playing that game ;)
It took me a few hours to get the landering just right when playing on the
Apple I.
