   You wrote "line editors".   
   seeing that  made me recall the day the operator inthe computer room noticed me   
   watching the paper jumping up in the Line Printer and invited me in the room.   
   My thinking was there was a dot matrix head really flying forward and back at a   
   fantastic speed.   
   The operator raised the cover on the line printer to show me the chain of type   
   traveling in a circuit at high speed.   
   He also showed me a plug board that attacked ached to the IBM mainframe system.   
   This was in the mid-1960's long before I got interested in personal computers   
   and bought a C=64 in1984.
