Try it with your Model 15. That should keep you out of trouble for at

Years back, I believe in the long defunct Byte magazine, I read an article about someone who typed 8 bit ASCII while riding a bike, using 4 microswitches on each handlebar grip. I think that would one-up the Teletype terminal.

I have tried to find the article without success. The claim was that he wrote his monthly column while on vacation bicycling.
