They count to me :-), but there's a certain point where all the X
terminals look like a little pizza box to which you attach PS2
keyboards and mice and a VGA display. That's kinda where they become

point. Similar to the way terminals all become the same as they all
have the electronics housed in something that is not much bigger than
the tube.
