Gosh, I remember using those.

I also remember using a teletype to receive emails for a CEO at Westinghouse who was important enough to have emails addressed to him.

I’m typing this on a device the size of a paperback book, which has no exterior keyboard.

How times have changed.

I used one of those terminals! Ran a Wang VS-100 and VS-300 shop “back in the day” for BC/BS of IL’s Dental Division. Even had Virtual Terminals on it!

In a previous life I spent many, many hours siting in front of a terminal like that. Wang was a heck of a good system.
