    Just acquired a lovely piece of early history with a knob; it lets you change between all three modes. Must've been pretty fancy in the day!

    Just need to find a way to interface a Model M to it and I'll have a perfect ssh box

    I mean VT in the general sense, but I was exposed to a VT220 early on -- in amber. Amber is just soothing somehow.

    Green makes me feel like a hacker, man. Like in the movies!

    You ever see a movie with an orange terminal?

    I thought not.

    VTX 1800 isn't bad, but a bit big for you yet.

    You should get a 650 next.

    Hahaha this thing even has that phosphor ghost thing happening. Baud rate isn't too flash, so if I cat /var/logs/auth.log or something in green, you get a peculiarly familiar effect.

    This has been reported as Off-topic, but I can't figure out what the actual topic is?
