480 characters?  Sounds like Twitter.

Was the 2260 keyboard the one with two, count 'em, two PF keys?

My memory of those ancient history days (early 70s) simply fails too much. I 
seem to remember "something" simple we did with the keyboard, but the details 
have vanished. (And I am probably confusing it with the 2260 keyboards from a 
few years earlier!)
