Have a PF1/Gold key for EDT, etc.? I use emulators because I have to, but occasionally I find times where I _really_ want a terminal (and not just 'cause it looks right). OTOH, if I need to force-feed stuff down the throat of a classic system, even an xterm window that's connected in some way to a serial port (kermit, typically), is a great way to go. I've even seen some recent applications for terminals that depend on the "advanced video" features of the VT100 command set (the news/weather/flight information system at South Pole was VT420s on a MicroVAX when I was there last, running a simple app to page through text screens. Terminals were mounted in the wall at a variety of public locations). But, I suspect, in this case, it's simple aesthetics - the VT100 was the dominant terminal when the 11/44 was current. It's nice to have the proper accessories for ones vintage machines. -ethan
