They probably found the price of (replacement) vt520s
going up a bit too
much for the size of their company. And a small Linux capable box for
terminal like jobs can be had _very_ cheap - the alix3d3 sells for
around USD 125 including systemboard, case and powerbrick. Thats a
AMD Geode 500 Mhz with 256 MB of memory, network, USB, VGA (can do
1280x1024), audio on board. Very low power draw as well, boots from CF.
The case is about 15x15x3 cm, you could just stick that behind the monitor.
An AMD Geode 500 Mhz with 256 MB of memory, network, USB, VGA (can
do1280x1024), audio on board, just to be a dumb terminal.
Bloat? What bloat?
