   I just got back from a demo at our nearest ACT of the DEC VT1000
   X terminal that was announced last week. I was able to convince the
   marketteers to let me play with it for a while and here are my observations.

   ...

   The boxes come with one Meg of Local ram (about 2.5 Meg of code in ROM)
   with the ability to expand to 4 meg of RAM.   All indications are that
   the systems will need 2 meg or better to support a reasonable number of
   local sessions.

Did you find out what sort of memory modules this terminal
will take?  Are they the 1 MB commodity SIMMS that you can
get for less than $100 these days street price or some
horrible DEC proprietary design ?  Did they say whether the
design would accomodate 4 MB devices?
