Those are pretty slick; a completely different deal than the PC bucket. IBM just didn’t have the insight nor the vision (as opposed to Hi-Toro and Jay Miner) to build a personal computer people would actually love and enjoy to use. It was a machine designed by a committee and it shows in the uglyness of the BIOS’ font. The terminals were a completely different world. I actually used them, Green monochrome monitor, IBM key clicking keyboard and all, although the termcap on Solaris 2.5.1 wasn’t quite right so I’d switch to a DEC VT220 as soon as one would be freed. Good times.
