Re: I spit on your socialist paradise...
I had my own KSR33. Got a job repairing them at the Univ Computing Center. Which came with a no-holds-barred login to the mainframe (a CDC CYBER 74, if anyone cares). Which was nice. And I programmed the answerback drum on my machine to enter my username and password.
I can still, I believe, by muscle memory alone, strip and rebuild a 33 typing unit power shaft. Which I did every summer for the ~25 TTYs owned by the computing center. They became obsolete, almost overnight, when the microprocessor got used as the basis for video terminals, and the DECwriter replaced printing terminals.
