I'm showing my kid how to use a typewriter and just twigged for the very first time why the number one and exclamation mark are on the same key and my mind is completely blown
@phooky I always assumed they are on the same key since shift sets bit five and 1 is 0x21 while ! is 0x31 in ascii.
@th huh-- did erasure/delete actually do a backspace on these machines? wondering if you could have done the compound glyph thing on a teletype.
@th @phooky i love the jaunty angles on those keycaps
