    Hi, I am having trouble understanding your comment/question. Not sure if I would know the answer but could you elaborate?

      The keyboard with gate coordinate characters instead of the usual letters. Can't say I ever noticed so good catch!

        what maneth said, it was just something I noticed, I don't think we ever saw it again and I thought it was cool and thought I would share.

                I didn't notice that before either, I even sat in 'Walter's' seat and didn't notice that on the keyboard when I visited the set! It's funny how the brain doesn't take in subtle changes to familiar things sometimes! I guess that's why changing the 'm' and 'n' keys on keyboards is such an old successful joke lol!

                  saw it again, in the episode serpent song- at 41:55 when martuth tells them where they can send him, it isn't as visible as the one I posted, but you can tell.

                    Hi,

                    Great catch.

                    I recall the mid-1980s at the computer trade shows (like Comdex) that one company had a bowl full of red keyboard like "ANY" keys for free. I got one and put it on the Automatic Test Equipment for testing electrical circuit boards. Got a few laughs.

                    When you think of the slips we see (such as a solid concrete floor between the hall and the elevator), this is a great detail.

                      what I remember about 1980's computers is the old trs80's in my high school library.

                        Hi,

                        1) Is there a font set of all the dialing computer glyphs?

                        2) What glyph is on which QWERTY key?

                        Thanks.

                          http://www.thescifiworld.net/fonts.htm has downloadable fonts

                          But now that you mention it as I"m skimming through the glyphs, I can't even ID some of them. The Y looks like an inverted Libra but the rest in the QWERTY don't look like any of the others.

                            Hi,

                            I hope this comes through. With the StarGate glyphs, I had to change the file to a JPG.

                              Hi,

                              I want to attach the JPG file reply 05 26 2017.jpg to this message. It is 133KB in size. I give up for the night.

                              If anyone wants the PDF version or a JPG version of my response (which the Stargates Glyphs are removed when a cut and paste text), please let me know.
