=?iso-8859-15?Q?Tekkie=AE?=

posted for all of us...

The particular abbreviation came from IBM guys texting, long before
there were phones that could text. (1985 or so)
We had a portable computer terminal that ran on cell frequencies,
weighed 3 pounds and connected to the entire IBM data network. It had
text message capability along with just about anything else you could
do from a desk top in our job.

I remember them. They were great, I was very envious when I saw them. FKNA
