For the record, that was originally from the At Last the 1948 Show, which included some Pythons, but it's not actually a Python bit, although it's often credited to them. Eric Idle explained all this before performing the sketch on his Greedy Bastard Tour. And I remember using paper tape on an ASR-33 teletype as a storage mechanism in the early '70s before moving on to punch cards. It all made VT-100s seem incredibly user friendly. -Jerry Wolper [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
