I remember back in the 70's, the non-profit my mom helped found. The Director's son set up the computer system and it used an IBM selectric as the keyboard. Normal output went to a TV (16 x 16 display) and it would print back to the selectric (e.g. printing out mailing lables). A flick of a switch would make the selectric a normal typewriter again for correspondance. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
