Nope! a B&W CRT about 12" diagonal. 80x24 characters.

I still have an ADM-3 terminal, along with some color
Tektronix
terminals. None have been used in over 15 years.

I still have my ASR-33 for the post-EMP Internet.

Do you think they'll survive it? I guess the ASR-33 may,
because
they
are purely mechanical with NO switches. Not so, the ADM-3.

The ASR-33 *does* have switches -- *lots* of them, in the

Newp, just "contacts". vbg


I bought extra dozens of 5x8 and 8.5x11 lined note pads for
post-EMP
times. Those and extra mechanical pencils. They could
double as
gifts from the primitive race to the aliens in exchange for
an
AutoDoc
and a ton of medical nannites, whenever that happens.

:-)

What are the odds that the aliens would have nannites
tailored
for the human race? :-)

When they see our cute and primitive writing tools, they'll
make
them
specially for us. Remember, THEY are the advanced race.

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

I remember that episode,'To Serve Man'. LOL! One Step Beyond,
right? Watched it religiously, along with Twilight Zone, Outer
Limits, and all the Star Treks. I'm seriously hoping we meet
much
more neutral and friendly aliens, and that they're waiting for
us to
outgrow the warlike stage (which we've been in for far too long)
before they contact us.

Want to bet that (some) aliens are as warlike as we are?

If they were, we probably wouldn't be alive. shrug

What do we have that they would want? Iphones???


We could supply them with Liberals, for their zoos...

If the aliens can discover why their brain cells never mature perhaps
we can apply that to other organs to slow ageing.
