OMG UTF8! Next I suppose someone will show me how to disable those !@#%ing colour control codes that always make my text blink? I don't want colour. I don't want syntax highlighting. I just want my old-school terminal. Mind you I'll probably have to sacrifice my cherished 8x15bold font (still installable after all these years) if I really want to go UTF8.

I do! I use the terminal everything and even my IDE. Give me all the fancy features and dream up more. Just actually support vt100 when it is needed and in sometimes worse situations. Our “serial” console solution is even worse then the old school days. God help us if we need to use it for more then the occasional evaluation.

I set TERM=vt102 to get rid of the garish colors. You still get the basic colors, which can be useful sometimes.
