That's pretty awesome. I always liked those, bought a 102 online that
didn't have a working = key. For a machine that runs BASIC, that's sort
of a deal-breaker. Ended up selling it to someone handier with a
soldering iron than me.

I loved the image of a journalist hacking up a story on one of those in
the field, then going to a phone booth with an acoustic coupler and
filing the story electronically.
