Wyse 50's cost just a little over $300.  I'd like to see you in a
meeting with my manager trying to convince him that it's a good idea to
spend six times more on your terminal than everyone else's.

I must say that I think higher productivity is realized from a nice
multi-window environment, but because I cannot easily quantify the
benefits I cannot demonstrate bottom-line advantages of nice
workstation-type terminals.
