re: #169 Targetpractice

Sorta like the ol’ teletypes?

Yes, but the “teletype” might only have worked one-way - that is, you might have only been receiving what somebody was sending you (this was the origin, btw, back when experiments were done with communicating messages and the typewriter was the basis for the design.) The neat thing with the terminals hooked up to the minicomputer is that you could have your own “session” - it was like having your own computer!

See, in those days owning your own computer was a really big deal.
