In the article, the author digresses a bit into the history of the Teletype, and says, "The Unix system at Bell Labs was developed using the Model 35 Teletype, which was the next model produced after the Model 28..."
However, the 35 was a rather large and fairly rare unit. I suspect most of the Unix work done at Bell Labs was on Teletype Model 33 variants. This is supported by the picture available at this link maintained by Dennis Richie himself.
Unfortunately, Ssolstice makes a good point. 2.4 GHz phones can indeed cause WiFi 802.11b problems. You'll read posts here that claim otherwise. Answer: it varies depending upon the specific model of phone. Not all analog or all digital or all digital spread spectrum phones will cause problems. Nor will the problems be the same. I've seen one model of Panasonic GigaRange Extereme completely take down a WiFi network anytime it was taken off hook or just ringing. I've seen very recent ATT 2.4 digital spread spectrum (made by OEM VTech, BTW) cause individual WiFi nodes to loose their connection intermittantly (once every hour, roughly). But not all at once. And the phone did not have to be off hook. Also, on the same phone, I've seen WiFi data cause "clicking" noise on the phone while in use.
All very frustrating. You won't know until you get the phone home. And you might not find out until you add a second handset (for multi-handset systems). And there's no guarantee if you get a 5gig phone either: it's a not-well-documented feature that many 2.4 phones use 2.4 one way and 900 another, and some 5gig phones use 5gig one way and 2.4 gig the other way.
The problems with an apartment building full of these to an extensive WiFi setup could indeed be significant.
Personally, I'd like to see all future cordless phones go back to using 900mhz (though with digital spread spectrum technology), but it's not going to happen.
If you read the eBay ad carefully -- and know a little about trains and streetcars -- it turns out this was more of a "subway surface streetcar" line than a pure subway. The car itself did not start out life as a subway car; it was an old "PCC" streetcar. Tandy remodeled it extensively in the '70s, basically bringing it down to the bare frame. Thus, any Trolly Museum that would be looking for a PCC will not get much by buying this other than a few spare parts and a frame. Perhaps some museum would want it as a novelty.
If you want a good place to see some authentic PCC streetcars still in active service, visit San Francisco -- they purchased a bunch from Philadelphia for tourist attraction.
Unfortunately, your assumptions are not correct in all cases. Not all of the gears are replaced when you replace the toner and drum. In my case, a Xerox P8 printer which cost I think over $300 when new, required a $90 toner / cartridge replacement when the first set ran out, and then died about 6 months thereafter. It turns out an el-cheapo (your words) gear in the main body of the printer had literally disintegrated.
Due to that one gear, it's just a pile of plastic and metal at the moment and I'm back to only having my DeskJet 7350 printer -- meant for color photos -- as my main printer. And oh yeah, that replaces the DeskJet 722C which began flaking out almost exactly one year after I bought it and finally got so bad I replaced it recently.
Looks like the only real option is to pay $$$ for "office quality" printers. The home stuff is junk.
FYI, Gallery does have a Slideshow mode like Coppermine, though perhaps the "button" is not quite as obvious as in Coppermine. But it's there in the upper right.
