The Varityper was an amazing beast. The newspaper I worked for retired their last one around fifteen years ago. I think I know where it is out in the storage building.
I volunteer for a Computer Ministry that refurbished machines and then gives them away. You should see the stuff we get. And those old monitors are HEAVY!

Went on a service call once. Windows 98SE was out but the client was still using DOS 3.0.

Can’t count the number of times I wanted to smash a computer/monitor. “Oh, this new technology is so great!” Right….
