And I beg to differ on your opinion of twinax. I went through a bunch of
those. On/off switches breaking. All sorts of issues with wiring. And
the usual CRT issues. Firmware needing upgrades, etc. But I've also
found it's hard to change people's mind when they wax nostalgically about
the good old days. They seem to forget polio, small pox, depression era
poverty, trench warfare and so on.

Oh I hated twinax cable itself, pulling that stuff along the suspended
ceiling usually resulted in half of it coming down and it really didn't
like going around corners and a dodgy screen causing the whole chain to
fail and the older screens having burnt in shadows of the signon
screen... but the keyboard I really liked.
