You must have a little dyslexia.

When I first started working, there was a telex or teletype machine. You'd type your message and it would punch holes in a tape and then you connected and fed the tape through the machine.

And the fax machines where you had to put the phone into the "special slot" at both ends after speaking. Cutting edge 1980's technology!

You remember the fax machine with the canister that you had to clip the paper into and it went round and round? 6 minutes a page. Damn, it stunk

X-ray machine in shoe stores. You insert your feet info a slot and then look down in a viewer and can see the bones and check the fit of the shoes. Very early memory for me... Do we now all get toe cancer due to the radiation exposure?

I spent a lot of my time in the Navy in the 1970s and early 1980s typing on a Model 28 teletype and working with those 5-level paper tapes. The machine itself had about a zillion parts to it -- a real mechanical wonder/nightmare. But when a good teletype maintenance tech had fine-tuned it, oh my I could type like lightning!
