I prefer a unit where the keyboard is separate and put in any position that feels ergonomically comfortable. That rules out things like the ADM-3A, ADM-5, Basic/Four 7250, Heath/Zenith Z-19, Heath H-9, Tektronix 4010/4014, etc. I love the screen font on the HP2621. It had very well formed characters that always looked so smooth and crisp at the same time. I have two, one with a dead PS that needs to be repaired. The keyboard is just OK; not the best, but not the worst I've used. The Tektronix 4105 and 4205 have really nice keyboards and have color graphics and text. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
