The Heapshit H-8 terminal was a real winner.  Not only could it not
display lower case, if you sent it lower case letters it printed
garbage rather than shifting them to upper case like any sane terminal
(like a teletype) would do.  In addition, rather than manufacturing
key tops with the letters on them.  They generated a whole pile of
blank keytops and stick on labels for the letters.
