Was that a hard copy? The only HC's we had were Decwriters, and
an old daisywheel Diablo tucked away in a special room (you had to pay
$2/hr extra to use it)

We also had a few "dumb" (not cursor addressable) terminals
of various types, mostly for people using systems such as WYLBUR
and JCL. Of course, Unix VI or any other program requiring cursor
addressing wouldn't operate properly on those terminals.

I still get a tickle over the time when some luser-type tried
to use VI on a decwriter...and wondered why it didn't work...
