The H-1642 processor and operator console (teletype), photographed in 1974 at the Educational Computer Center at 1201 Kemper St. in Lynchburg, VIrginia.
The Educational Computer Center was a joint venture of Lynchburg College, Randolph-Macon Women's College and Sweet Briar College, and was based in the second floor of the old trolley car barn at 12th and Kemper Sts. in Lynchburg. The Honeywell was the center's academic computer to which students and faculty connected from the three colleges via dialup (acoustic coupler modems) and teletype units.
Dialup service was also provided for two teletypes at E.C. Glass High School, where I first learned of this computer's existence and became a regular user. In the summer prior to my senior year in high school, I obtained a job at the ECC as a weekend operator.

Descriptor:
Rape, pornography, and a barbershop quartet: Iowa 1985. Small town Dunleith, Iowa, along the Mississippi River, will provide locations for a music video. Introverted victim Ann Lambert (11) hides her assault from her mother, Tammany, who has championed the town to West Coast video producers. Dreamy Allen May (15) and his fledgling quartet stir local interest and land a cameo in the production. But Ann's and Allen's lives unravel during this time when America was beginning its fully digital age. Can small town values provide cover?
Netronics ASCii Keyboard with "FastVid" board in its original heavy gauge metal "Big Blue" case. Supplied as a self-assembly kit for use with the Netronics ELFII (RCA COSMAC 1802) and Netronics Explorer kits c1978. Modded by addition of power & shiftlock LED indicators. I really must replace those clumsy brass bolts with something more discrete.

I had to ask for permission from professor in college to print out a paper on my computer on my dot-matrix printer
Ordinateur complet en boîte " SINCLAIR ZX Spectrum+ " ( avec boitier convertisseur péritélévision ).
One of my few fruitful "liberations" as we call them. I'm a Mac geek so sometimes I'll go rescue Macs before they reach the landfill and try to find a use for them again.
These compact Macs are still wonderful word processors and muses. They also have a great library of games that look great on this 9 inch B&W screen.

the way it worked was: negative filmstrips containing all the letters were strapped around the outside of a spinning drum. You could only put 2 or 3 on at once as I recall. Text and commands for positioning and layout would be entered and the photo-paper was exposed as the correct character flashed by. Then you had to run it through a processor to develop the print.

This is a great print showing how bad we can be at predicting the future of technology. It shows a floppy disk being inserted into a wristwatch-size computer. According to the information on the print, it is a Collector Edition of Byte Cover #13. It is number 209 of 500 prints, copyright 1981 by Robert Tinney and also signed by the artist.
