I wish I could be there for it.

That sounds like fun!
? This is something I always wanted to have, It is
just me, or the VT100 is
the most beautiful of all terminals?
The first terminal I used on a regular basis was the VT220 (when it
was mere months old), but I spent much more time on VT100s.
Occasionally, I preferred a feature or two of the VT220 over its older
brother, but for solid ASCII game play and just banging away at 80x24
C code, I really did like the VT100 family. The VT102 was easier to
deal with than a true VT100 (AVO and such), but the aesthetic was the
same.
I used a VT52 much later - it was painful.
