Not entirely true.  The 60 is slower than the 50, and without a bunch
of padding information it will lose characters at high speeds (certainly
at 19200, maybe at 9600 as well).

The 60 also has alternate screens, 132 columns, and lots of strange
block-mode crud.  I've thought of maybe using the alternate screen
feature along with a hacked-up version of the "uw" (Unix Windows) 
software for the Macintosh, but I've been too lazy.
