Also, the green phosphor has a lovely tendency to make everything look purple after you've been working with the terminal for about half an hour. I only wish the ADM-3A didn't make that high-pitched whining noise (flyback problem, apparently), because it looks even cooler and has a very good UNIX keyboard. I guess I'll have to wait until I get older and can't hear such high frequencies any more. John Floren
