I have to agree.  We have a large number of HDS200 terminals and their
older siblings, the Concept AVT and Concept-108 terminals.  Out of a
population of 200-ish of these terminals, the average failure rate is
something like 1 a week.  The HDS repair guy comes here every time we have
a batch of 6 or more broken terminals, and he's here every 4-6 weeks,
sometimes more often.
