You need a VT55.   Good luck finding thermal paper for it though. ;-)
We bought 2 new (old stock) VT55's in the early 80s.   They were kind
of fun for graphs, but not worth what the school paid for them.

I'd love to have one of those.   They're all pretty much gone at this point,
unfortunately.   The few that remain aren't able to be pried out of their
owners' hands. (and I don't blame them one bit!)

Hello!
And here I believed you had rooms of things that you haven't even
gotten around to unpacking yet.

Well, a small number of rooms (this building is basically three very large,
open floors) but I generally know what I have.

Unlike this house which is vastly smaller and I often forget the odd things I have. ;)


Of course this does explain why there is a legion of mechanical
contrivances running around welding doors shut after making sure no
one, cats included, happened to be inside them.

The cats are lying around being lazy, as cats are wont to do.   They really
don't care about welded doors.

Food, on the other hand...Fergie (one particularly cute and lazy cat)
looked at my breakfast and said, "Hey, that looks yummy!   Put it in the cat!"

Now i'm going to have annoying pop songs stuck in my head.

Hello!
That's okay. There's a big green thing outside it humming those
annoying pop songs until one of two things happen. The first one is he
gets paid off by those yetis who're still playing trampoline with your
connections out. Or it rains and he gets washed away.

As for you Dave, please stop staring at that yellow car, and those
four Bedford delivery wagons. And besides the cats have reported that
all of the frantic welding machines have left.
