One taps "SETUP" to see the time in the upper right corner of the screen... I used to double-tap SETUP so I could check the time of day from my desk. Faster than typing "DATE", and it doesn't disturb the current session. The 101e doesn't have the internal clock, but it does support a reasonble method of switching sessions if one plugs the printer port into a second host - kinda like what DEC did with later terminals, but available 10 years earlier. I have a quantity of 101s and 101es in storage... They are one of my favorite "non-DEC" terminals. -ethan

When this survey started I really enjoyed the list of early computers used that people added. It would be both on topic and fun to continue. For me the first I used was an IBM 1130 in 1974 or 5. The first I bought was a Litton 1251 in 1983. I guess I did use a Wang 360 card programable calculator in 1969, that might count too. I already posted my age for the survey. -- Paxton Hoag Astoria, OR US
