We bought about 20 HDS terminals a couple of years ago.  They had a lot
of features for the money but...  In the last 10 months we've had to 
repair 17 of them!  Each repair (by HDS) was at the board level and 
cost between $150 and $300.  We had only a slightly lower failure rate
last year.  We are currently shopping for 20 new terminals....
