Rumor has it that Bill Pechter may have mentioned these words:

Awrighty... It seems that this is "classic computing character week..." ;-)
let's spin off another weird thread:
What was the *newest* (classic) machine that used the arrow, instead of (or
in place of) the caret?
The newest one I can think of is the Tandy Color Computer 2. (the 3 might
have used it on the 32x16 screen, but the 40/80 character modes changed it
to the caret...)
Just another spin,
