IBM once made some awesome terminals, mostly for the

They were quite large and had a fantastic resolution - I seem to remember
them being able to display four _nice_ looking terminal windows without

IBM 3290 Terminal. Equivalent to four 3270 series terminals. There's
one within twenty feet of my desk at Prudential. I wish it could be
used as ASCII terminals -- it's look dynomite attached to my sundry
Unix and Linux boxen. But it's only good with SNA.
