Ah yes! The APL terminal of choice at the U of

Actually, the hardcopy terminal room on the 3rd floor of GSB was filled with dog slow
DECwriters, now that I think about it. Next door was a room full of CRT something or
others, all wired to the Amdahl running MTS, so curses was just another curse. There was
also one terminal room full of Courier 3270 clones (wonderful terminals, with
indestructible keyboards) also wired to the MTS Amdahl/470.
Funny how the MTS line editor resembled ed(1) so much :-)
