Graphics terminal hunt
>From cbosg!djb@Berkeley Mon Mar 15 04:41:28 1982

I'm trying to assemble a list of graphics terminals in the under
$10,000 price range.  Manufacturer's ads and brocures are nice,
but I'd really like to get insights from people who own and use
the terminals.  Principle features of interest are:

	0) Price
	1) Dot addressable resolution
	2) Number of colors in the palatte
	3) Number of colors that can be displayed
	4) Useability as an alphanumeric terminal
	5) Special capabilities (polygon fill, circle & arc drawing, etc)
	6) Availibity and performance of peripherals
	   (incl. hard copy units, joysticks, light pens, tablets, etc)
	7) General characteristics (good color rendition, amount of smarts
	   and/or brain damage built in, other subjective evaluations...)
	8) Maintenance
