Thanks for any insight you can offer. > David: I am an assistant in the computer lab where I go (Carroll College) Where we have both Wyse 50's and various models of TVIs. We have other terminals, but my preference always goes to the Wyse's even though they were not the default 'terminal type' under the setup we had programmed for editors and such. I found it to have a far nicer keyboard, easy-to-read 14" green screen, etc. I strongly recommend you go to the Wyse. -- _____ _____ |"Reading computer manuals without |tomk@lakesys.UUCP | | | the hardware is as frustrating as |uunet!marque!lakesys!tomk | \_| | reading sex manuals without the |uunet!uwmcsd1!lakesys!tomk ------------- software" - Arthur C.
