what's with that printer button pressing sound, what does it do

Before the video terminal existed you paid $1000 (in 60's inflation) for a glorified typewriter that was your terminal. Teletypes are pretty much iconic for their use with early computers. Everybody used them and they all have a very distinct sound.

Neat.
Those sounds are too sexy
And people think Mechanical keyboards are loud, imagine typing on this at 2 in the morning, keep the family awake.

There should be a mechanical keyboard switch to create that noise, everyone who uses blues would move on to that.

I just love the sounds of these old machines, and what they could do. Seems like magic to me.
