I don't know that I "miss" them in the sense of wanting to use them
over what I have available to me now. Graphics on PCs these days blow
away US$1E6 machines from ten years ago, never mind 20 or more years
ago.
However, since my first computing experiences were all through
terminals (some of them graphical, notably HP2648A and Tektronix
4010), its defines the "nostalgia" element for me.
