Sure there are complicted terminals, but be
honest. Which would you
rather fix : A VT100 or a modern Wintel PC?
Answer: A modern Wintel PC: I can just go to one of any number of
shops and buy a replacement part :-)
Odd... I've never ben able to find the PC spares that _I_ want in any shop
Ahhh, but you said "modern" PC, I suppose it depends on what you mean by
modern.... :-)
I suspect your definition of modern probably differs considerably from that
of the ordinary person in the street :-)
Of course when it comes to laptops you can forget it even with "modern"
ones, which is one of the reasons why I don't like them.
