Just bought a DECwriter correspondent portable terminal from goodwill for $9.99 plus shopping!!
I didn’t find one on eBay but I suspect they sell for a lot of money from what I saw for the models of decwriter terminals.
Not going to sell it though!! Who doesn’t want/need a portable terminal?

A GENTLE REMINDER:
Wanting a child born is Pro-Birth.
Wanting a child fed, housed, educated, with parents who earn a living wage is Pro-Life.
I am Pro-Life, in the independent, progressive, democratic socialist sense that guarantees every child's health, safety & welfare :-)}

"Pretend like you’re describing the piece to a friend (or a gallery!) over the phone. What information do they need to hear to understand the image and the context (why you’re posting it)? Alt text builds a bridge over that “perceptual black hole.” Descriptive text fills it."
