That's what we did with my TI 57 programmable calculator. It had to be held upside-down while the numerals "4377" slowly appeared. There was an ASR33 in the Guidance Dept. when I was in High School. I was allowed to sit down and play with it for a few minutes in my senior year. I don't think they actually used it very much. > Sometimes, I miss that old tech though I really would not want to have to > make a living now working with it.

My beloved HyperCard is gone but it has been superseded by LiveCode (free uncrippled version available).
