Had the lovely experience once of moving 70+ 5251's up 3 flights of stairs
and then when remodeling done moving them back down!!!!!

Of course I was a lot younger then (and a lot stronger when done, beats a
Gold's Gym membership....

Lots of 3180's die a strange death when they finally die. They keep fading
to blank, then coming good again after they've been powered off for awhile.

I remember the first time I saw a 3180 and I was super-impressed with the
132 character display for spool files and the 96 key play-back buffer
knocked my socks off.

I'm not going into any 5251 stories.... except to offer my theory that they
would probably (like cockroaches) survive a nuclear holocaust.
