Thought y'all might appreciate this video as the nail-biter it was for me. This is System/34 #3 in the restoration queue, and rescued from the basement of a home in Michigan. It contains the life's work of one of the first people to develop an "input method" to enter non-Latin languages with a standard keyboard. This S/34 is also one of the few that ever spoke fluent Chinese. Archiving this one is going to be a treat.
