I remember seeing one - a time when I'd never seen a terminal that wasn't an ASR-33 teletype - hidden way back in the faculty section of a college computer department. I was given 15 minutes to try out 'Oregon Trail'. Mindblowing display concept.
PLATO definitely looked like an inevitable future. Unfortunately, in most places the educational establishment was not ready for it. Even 10-15 years later most people still wondered what use home computers could have. Recipes? Games? Tax returns? Anything else?
