Several years back I was working at a HMO and we had a lot of 8080 micros
using ADM3A dumb terminals. These terminals were so dumb that all they had
were upper case character sets. Eventually, upper managment was talked into
upgrading them to the ROM's with upper and lower case characters. Well, one
day we received this big three foot square box from the terminal manufacturer.
Everyone was puzzled as to what they could be sending us. The person with the
order said he had asked for 30 lower case options. The ADM3A terminal has
an upper and lower clamshell like case. When the box was opened we found
they had sent us 30 lower halfs to the terminal case.
