An idea for who use classic computers: since we

of terminals to attach to our classic computers, those compact Apple
Macs, such as the 512K or SE, found in more plentiful supply than
terminals at hamfests, have one very good use: use them as terminals
running terminal emulation software. While other microcomptuers such
as IBM type toy PCs are also useful as terminals for computers, the
old Macintoshes consume less electicity.
I second this. There are several VERY high-quality terminal
emulators available for Macs. That same Mac can also sit on the
ethernet for lan access as well (for the later NuBus machines, that
is)...
