Transferring a spreadsheet from the Convergent Technologies Workslate WK-100 from 1984 to modern Linux' picocom over a 300 baud modem, with whistling to trigger the transfer. In picocom ATE1X0&D0&C0, then ATA, and on the WK-100, first SpeakerPhone, then whistle, then wait for modem reply, then Terminal. Select Send and Do It. HAVE FUN! #workslate #modem #retro

I found one (plus the matching printer) at an electronics surplus store near San Jose for a few dollars, couldn't refuse that deal! The Industrial Design was great, the programming was Meh! I still have it - should get it out of storage and see if it still works...
