Re: Backache and swiss balls

In article <IwxC30.L7t@xxxxxxxxxxx>, djheydt@xxxxxxxxxxx says...

Wellll.... for the first couple decades of my secretarial career,
there was not that option. The keyboard was part of the
typewriter. Then it was part of the ADM3A terminal, of happy
memory. The separate keyboard is fairly recent.

"Happy"? What's with the happy?

Integrated keyboard, nose almost up next the screen, so it was like
staring down some black hole, and wasn't the text *green*? I was *so*
glad when I left university and there were other things, even if they
were DEC vt100s.
