There's a really well done terminal emulator for the Mac, with jitter, refresh latency and screen curve. It can pretty much mimic the VT102 I have connected to my Mac - I use that to tail log files. http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/ http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/ Having had to work on early 80s ttys tends to train you against inefficient keyboard usage. I'll still tend to use history ^substitution^ rather than readline editing at the shell prompt, or avoiding slow sequences in emacs.
