to be fair, we had Keith Packard working with us at NCD during the mid 90's. it helped to have someone innately connected to X11.

That NCD terminal wasn't mine, but I had the use of it while I worked at a customer's site for 6 months or so. One of my all-time favourite devices. I wrote so much code on that thing. Thanks!

I ended up leaving with a couple of generations of x terminals, my favorite which could pxe-boot and had a compactflash-like slot on it.

the weirder was an Apollo we had for an internal auction, strangest unix system I've ever run. but the b&w screen was very high resolution for the time and quite crisp.
