I'm not talking about the Back when BBN still made them, BitGraph's were pretty nice terminals. They had 3/4 M pixels (portrait) and a 68000 that could have small programs downloaded to run in them. Of course, the resolution wasn't as nice as it could be. Ann Arbor Ambassadors, however, are the nicest I've ever seen. They support all the capabilities I think a good terminal should have, you can change the size and aspect of the display, you can have a lot more than the loss-oriented 80x24 standard (assuming your OS isn't too losing), and the display is a nice soft green. What more could you ask for? Random -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
