Ahh, sanity! Bravo! The idea that "every computer must have a
bitmapped display, a keyboard, and a mouse" that the PeeCee world has

Right! I have a 6-to-1 RS-232 switch with one vt320 on one side,
and on the other sides I have 1) hp380, 2) Decstation 5000/133,
3) Vaxstation 2000, 4) and 5) misc. 68hc11 boards...
Saves a lot of space :-) .
