I finally got a close look at one of these at Uniforum, and the thing I liked
most (considering that I'm going to give these beasts to VERY novice users)
is the method they use to "login" to a host machine.  Their startup
sequence looks just like a terminal login prompt.  Works just like it, too.

It's this feature that is going to make X terminals a viable alternative for
getting high powered graphics in to the hands of our "normal" users.
