What's a reasonable price for a working VT05 in good working order and cosmetic condition? By "reasonable price" I don't want to hear stories about how you found one for $5 at surplus 10 or more years ago. Its irrelevant. So before you go on about how these things used to be commonplace and cheap/free, let's just inject a little reality into the discussion. They don't come up on ebay with any sort of regular frequency; in several years of running a standard search for DEC terminals, its never come up once. VT52s/VT78s rarely show up anywhere, while VT100s are fairly common. I'm not even aware of many collectors that have one; I know the Wofford Witch project has one, but I don't think Henk in the Netherlands has one (he has a VT55 link, but no VT05). The Computer History Museum appears to have two in its collection, but that's no surprise considering they've received a lot of stuff from Gordon Bell (as I understand it). -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
