Yeast fermentation power supply? Does that thing have an alcohol port?

If so, Yen Cross has found the perfect trading tool...

Hook up that alcohol port to the alcohol port below my nose.

Is this the 110 Baudot version?  If so, will it be upgradeable to 300 baud when that becomes available?  Or will I just be SOL - as in,  like owners of an iPhone-4 when the iPhone-5 is released?

I'm feeling some Old Skool ZH inside joke stuff going on... Wish I had been here sooner. Still quite funny at face value.

Not so much old school ZH as just old school as in "dawn of the computing age"...  How many people would know what I mean when I say that I wrote the software that drove the green-screened Telerate terminals?

Paper tape, from before they found out that mylar coatings kept the stuff from swelling up in high humidity, and 80 col punch cards, both....

Looks like one of those machines Blowfelt used in a James Bond movie to type in nuclear missle launch codes. Maybe Tyler's takes codes to detonate all the OTC Derivative bombs.

Ammunition Availability futures?   AA9mm, AA.30-06,  AA.50,...

Potable Water Availability?  PWA

I'd like to review the Porn operating manual before placing my order.

Isn't the point of having a doomsday that you get to walk (or limp) away from all of that nasty civilization stuff?

Thanks William, reminds me of the ads in the back of Popular Science back in the late 60's and early 70's

All you needed was an outrageous price...  NOW ONLY $149.99 + 1000 Green Stamps (some assembly required)

I prefer the old ticker tape- I make my 4 year old stand there for 6.5 hours reading me the quotes that are still denominated in 1/8s.

I once had a set-up that looked very much like that picture, an RCA dumb ASCII terminal, an analogue phone modem and a small BW TV. And I regret that I was forced to relinquish it for domestic reasons.
