Default Timely reminder - Fan Heaters, check for hot running and clean.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Bob Eager
saying something like:


1994 I got this one and it was attached to an old 286 machine that came
out of a typesetter's shop. Gawd knows how many characters it's actually
typed.


If it's a Model M, it should have the manufacture date on the bottom...!


12/6/1989 made in UK, so probably a Greenock one. I have another that's
slightly newer but is missing any ID.
