What I listed is only the tip of the iceberg. I even have stuff such
as a tape punch, and a Linotronic photo-typesetter with 8.5 inch

Burroughs Flexowriter ?

I wrote my first computer program on one of those in the fall of 1967.
If you were really good you could edit with scissors, scotch tape and
