We had a one-word name for it. I simply can't recall the word.

Oh, you know what? This rings a bell. Now I can be frustrated, too!
It's driving me nuts.

Sorry to reply out of order. I can't seem to get at the message I want to reply to...
The name "TI Silent 700" strongly rings a bell. However, when I look up pictures of it, such as this one

it doesn't look right. I think it was a member of a family of devices and they didn't all look the same. So maybe I just haven't found a picture, other than the OPs, which matches the particular model I used.

I do not know what you called the Silent 700 but the paper came with a self destruct feature.

Yes, he is quite sad, even at that task. He is a total retard.
Likely asking you if you know what a modem is since it came right after your cryptic description.
Since you used the term (modem) in your reply, it raises even more questions. You really are a dufus.
Hello Archie:
Do the folks here in these newsgroups know that you actually claimed to be celibate - and then told us what a super stud you are, constantly leaving women swooning as you go 'all night long'? Do they know that you are a foul mothed ignoramus who cannot resist using the word 'retard' in just about every post? Are they aware of the fact that you are hiding from a challenge to try to solve a numerical puzzle by running from it every time it's brought up? At least I am reasonably certain they're aware that you are a phony. Why you're even avoiding alt.video.dvd lately because we've made you the official group piñata.
Ready to try the puzzle yet Archie??
Hello again Archie:
Why do you change nyms so often? I suppose you cannot help being an asshole almost every time you post something. You really should recognize that your more than 30 nyms all share that 'special' moronic tinge that we use to readily identify you. You cannot disguise your stupidity.
Ready to attempt the puzzle yet Archie? Come on you big celibate boy; try to solve it.
Almost as bad as people that pronounce DATA as "Dhat-a" instead of "DATE-a".
Or folks talking about CPUs that say "PRO-sessor", instead of "prah-sessor", which is the correct pronunciation.
All quoted spellings were, of course, phonetic. Note that "prah" is the "O" sound like when the doctor says "Say ahhhhh".
Like describing yourself Archie - "ahhhhh-sole"
Both are correct. Similar to "tomato," preferring one or the other is just cultural background.

I still have a bunch of thermal terminal printouts from around 1974 that are holding up OK, despite not being very careful with them. It's the ASR-33 teletype printouts from back then that are the most degraded.
Nope. They were our customer.

You can\'t have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!
No. You are so stupid that you duplicated a few.
Mommy shat you in 1960? I find it amazing that you have been able to remain alive all these years. A reasonable person would have predicted that your nasty attitude towards people would eventually annoy someone's girlfriend, wife, or mother enough to result in your elimination by whatever means were available at that time. Perhaps you never speak about your education because mommy had to keep you out of the public schools to protect you - hence you were home-schooled and never got beyond the secondary school level. I'm sure that if you had a college degree you would have been boasting about being first in your class and having developed some incredible technological advance that the government took over and retained you as an SRD-class consultant. That's the bare minimum I'd expect from you Archie! We already know that you spend the majority of your miserable life at the keyboard posting caustic remarks on Usenet. You use over forty nyms and frequent many groups, but your attitude is consistent. Face it; there are no more worlds for you to conquer. It's time to off yourself in some wildly majestic manner. Go for it Archie.
Like I said before, you da' man Archie; you 'da man!
Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
