Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] TV Typewriter: Custom G10 copper clad

2016-03-21 by Harvey Altstadter

Aargh! You reminded me of my first encounter with the time sharing 
service that our company contracted with in the 70's. Dial up, 300 baud, 
acoustic coupler. I/O was a KRS 33 Teletype.  No operating system, just 
a Monitor.  I am convinced that that situation caused many of our 
employees to be wary of the PCs when we finally got them.  That time 
sharing system was so gruesome that it scared people away from wanting 
to use computers.
