Hi Mike,
> Anybody have a favorite? Why?
My favourites used to be the Televideo 950s which I got with my first
PDP-11/23 back in '89.
They were shaped rather like VT-100s, but not as wide. They had great
keyboards and due to their shape were easy to stack things on - including
other TV-950s.
Also got rather a soft spot for an earlier model of Televideo terminal which I
can't remember the model number of right now....shaped rather like the old
ADM-3A's. Great keyboard, and easy to service since they're well laid out
inside and the top cover is hinged at the back.
Current favourites are the DEC VT220 (and later) line - compact and very
versatile. And the HP terminals (I forget the model number) which are commonly
used on HP 3000 mainframes. Again they're stackable, and the ability to scroll
backwards to see earlier screen output is a godsend - I can't understand why
other manufacturers haven't included a similar feature on their units.
TTFN - Pete.
