Aucbvax.6129 fa.info-terms utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-terms Mon Feb 8 23:34:45 1982 Reply to item from hp-labs >From uwvax!solomon@Berkeley Mon Feb 8 21:05:07 1982 A recent note appeared in fa.info-terms that appeared to come from faunt@hp-labs. When I attempted to reply directly (over arpanet) I found that "hp-labs" is not in our host table. Could you please forward this, and let me know how to get their directly? Thanks. I read with interest your note (dated Feb 4) in the info-terms mailing list. We (University of Wisconsin--Madison Computer Sciences Dept) have lots and lots of HP 2621/A terminals. They are our terminal of choice amoung the "higher-priced" class. (For cheapies, we use one or another of the termials produced by Micro-term of St. Louis, such as the Act IV or the Mime). I personally have a 2621 in my office and another at home and I like them very much. The only thing I don't like is the damn caps-lock key that is easy to hit by mistake, feels just like any other key (so it's difficult to know you hit it) and gives no visible indication of its state. However, it's very easy to remove or disable, so it's no big problem. We haven't started to use EMACS here, but a meta key might make it more popular. I'd be very interested in anything you could tell me about installing such. Thanks.
