  Yes, VT125s are very cool.  There was also a really neat color
graphics terminal from DEC called the GIGI...anybody have one of
those?  I had one years ago, I don't remember what happened to it.  It
connected to an external monitor; sorta resembled a C64 in a weird
way.

  The VT55 was a graphics terminal, as I recall...what language did it
speak?  My docs are all downstairs and I'm lazy. :-/
