Many years ago, my old friend Richard Butler (may he rest in peace) ran a company with a few friends out of his college dorm room at the University of Maryland. Computer Timeshare Corporation, CTSC. They had a PDP-11/44 and a smattering of terminals, mostly VT52s. Of course none of them had the optional printer installed (did anyone actually order that option??) and they were well-known for carrying these terminals into and out of the dorm on a regular basis, as they frequently set up temporary systems for things like convention registration desks, etc. They used the VT52s' printer bays to smuggle booze into their dorm rooms. :-) I'm honored to have those very VT52s here. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
