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?
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?
Has this got shitty mapping softward that makes my local bank look like a great big sucking sinkhole in the ground? Wait...... my bank is a bit sucking sinkhole!
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.
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.

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

Hollerith cards, or paper tape? :>D
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....

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.
