Here are our comments ; Visual 50 - Alot of nice features. Menu setup mode, VT52/ADM3a/ADDS/HAzel compatibility, semi smooth scroll, N key rollover, swivel/tilt display, 80x25 lines, detachable keyboard, and so on. The only complaint with the terminal is that it is way too big. Its really a moose! Price is $695, $600-$650 at discount houses. QUME 102 - We feel in love with this terminal. Nice crisp display. The packaging is the best I have ever seen. Small footprint, lightweight, swivel/tilt display, detachable keyboard, ADM3a/ADM5a/ADDS/TV910/HAZEL compatible, 80x25 lines, and 20 watt power supply. Only minor complaint here is the keyboard. I don't think it has N key rollover, and it is a bit too flat, but I would take it. Maybe some rubber legs on the back could prop it up a bit. Price to Stanford is $600 ($695 list). Qume will have a similiar model out (103) in 30 days which is VT100 compatible for $895 list. Between the two, the QUME is the hands down winner. I'd be interested in more info on the new Zenith Z29 which was mentioned previously. Thanks, Ed -------
