I was also at UCCS in the later 70's and spent a
fair bit of time on the two
PLATO plasma terminals that were across the hall from the "computing
center" (the room with the batch terminal to the CDC machines in boulder)
Once again it sounds like I was lucky enough to be in a spoiled
environment. UDel had a *large* PLATO installation, with PLATO
terminal rooms located in the music building, the computer science
building, and the education department building. The smallest of
these PLATO terminal rooms had ~10 terminals, while the largest easily
had 25-30. Of course, we had our own CDC machine, I can't recall the
model number.
Our timesharing terminal room easily had 100 terminals in it: a mix of
HP2621s, HP2648As and LA-36s. Over time the LAs were all swapped out
for VT-100 clones, I think they were Wyse?
