VT105 is far to old, im after a VT520 with the white display, LK401 keyboard, and i will set it on smooth scroll. or even better a VT1200 !. Do you remember them
Oh I want something old. I don’t want a new one.
I just listened to the last two episodes back to back and I also almost lost my hearing in episode 10 when Alan’s very quiet voice lead directly into a trumpet jingle. Please never let Tony leave you!
While I’m at it, let me add that I very much enjoy your show, especially all the little quips and asides. I never had as much fun with voucher codes as in this episode of UUPC. Keep up the great work.
