My nomination is the late, great Teletype 43.  A wonderous device which
used (and still uses -- we have an example) its own strange paper.  The
print area of the paper is 8 1/2 by 11 -- if you tear off the perforations
and hold the resulting sheet sideways.  Top off this wonderous state of
affairs with the ability to blaze along at 300 bps while printing and
emitting noise not unlike an angry horse fly and you've got a real winner.

I'll say this for it:  the darned thing outlasted all of the terminals
(printers and CRTs) we've had.
