From the day I saw the first complete VT100 prototype
sitting on the bench
at the Digital Terminals Product Line offices in Marlboro Mass.
I have
always considered the VT100 to be the classic terminal. It led the way for
many years and VT100 compatibility was universal.
No other terminal had the impact VT100 did. I can't remember how many
thousand I sold in the UK whilst at DEC but it was lots.
You cannot get a more classic icon in computing than the DEC VT100.

Just a reminder - this Saturday, just a few days
away, RCS will be
doing triage on our big pile of VT100s and VT100oids. We need the
space! Incoming Cray!
This is something I always wanted to have, It is just me, or the VT100 is the most beautiful of all terminals?
It's probably just you :-). While I like the VT100 series (the real
ones), I cna think of other terminals that interest me more. The HP2623
for example.
