Don't they have a nasty habit of blowing the flyback transformer, though? Or 
is that just the VT220?

I had a VT220 for years as a console to my NCR Tower machine though; lovely 
little terminal. Switched to jump scrolling, of course - smooth scrolling 
makes me want to barf. What *were* DEC thinking? :-)
