I was probably older than I should have been when I realised why plugs were always male and sockets always female... It was before the days of RSMA abominations.

The teletype I remember could well have been an ASR-35, rather than a -33. It was in my Dad's office at home when I was 6. I believe that I've mentioned learning to do arithmetic on it (via the Arpanet from University of Utah to a computer at BB&N in the Boston area). So my memory of the specific model number's a bit hazy.
