<p>Yes, mine was green as well. And I remember those modems too though "ping ping" would not be my onomatopoetic translation. I'm not sure I could come up with a good equivalent to tell you the truth but I bet it could be transcribed onto the player piano roll in your Hermes 2000, Keith.</p>

<p>My Hermes 2000 is the groovy light green [ish-blue] color. In gaining custody of the Hermes,"scored" is not the proper verb; "inherited," would be accurate, which makes the machine that much more precious [at least to me]. The Hermes is one of three typewriters in my possession; one is currently in storage [an Underwood], but the two here in the studio [the Hermes 2000 and a Smith Corona "Silent" — not really silent] work just fine. Sorry to hear about David's Hermes 3000 being discarded,…</p>
<p>My Hermes 2000 is the groovy light green [ish-blue] color.

The Hermes is one of three typewriters in my possession; one is currently in storage [an Underwood], but the two here in the studio [the Hermes 2000 and a Smith Corona "Silent" — not really silent] work just fine. Sorry to hear about David's Hermes 3000 being discarded, definitely the top tier "Mercedes Benz" of typewriters [ain't hindsight a bitch]. I've given away quite a few "printers," including my original mid-eighties dot matrix printer, oy, and do not miss any of them. Although happening upon the back and forth whirring sound of the dot matrix always transports me back to my youth with the printer buzzing along and the ping-ping of the 28k dial-up modem. Funny how quickly that equipment became useless, but my typewriters live on . . . ah, the analog life. Oh, and you're welcome David.</p> who knew?tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2017-06-15:2496677:Comment:21308812017-06-15T00:15:15.440ZPATRICIA LANDONhttps://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/PATRICIALANDON
