Some of us even have Terminals that are plugged into terminal servers
instead of computers. That way they can choose which computer on the
network they connect to. What can I say, I love VT420's.

My big thing is sharing my Monitors between systems. Right now the IBM P200
can drive 4 systems (4-way digital switch box for both video, keyboard and
mouse), the Viewsonic P815 can do 2 (dual inputs), and the Dec 17" can do
2 (dual inputs).

Oh, drool! Now that sounds sweet!
