For best terminal-with-tech'y-of-the-time, I'll second
the ADM-3(a), but for hardcopy the GE TermiNet was way out
ahead.  300 or even true 1200 Baud, lower case and all the
U**X/C chars, internal horiz & vert tabs, etc.

Unforch, it weighed a ton, the keyboard magnetic ferrites
often broke (usually the RETURN key and Ctrl-C), and the
print-character chain often caught in the edge of the paper
and tore, after which you had some characters that didn't print
as well.  You could use any size paper up to 120 columns.

Years later, the Teletype Model 40 copied the concepts.

Right now I'm using an HP-2645A, which while physically
and feature-wise terribly overdesigned, is a grand old tube.

You think AT&T cares about CoCos, music, or Star Trek?
No?  Then, these opinions must be all mine!
