My library used these teletype machines into the late 90s, maybe even the early 2000s. Don't remember exactly when the transition was, but I remember using them in middle school or early highschool. I actually remember thinking how clunky the web interface was when they upgraded, how you had to make sure the focus was in the text input box. It didn't "just work" like the older system.
