KSR-33 indeed.  How do you live without paper tape?  Where do you find
roll paper these days?  Ribbons for the beast?  Are you deaf already or
do you use earplugs?  Do you have a maintenance contract?  I remember the
good old days:  ASR-33 on a PDP-8.  Who needs more than this?  8=)
Reverse video is 'ribbon-shift' from black to red?  Take me back.
