I regret that when I obtained my Straight 8 system in the early 80's I
chose not to take the ASR-35.  In retrospect this was a huge mistake.  My
thinking at the time was in addition to not having room for it it was noisy
and would be difficult to maintain.  I used my Processor Tech Sol 20 as the
terminal because it has a current loop interface and could operate at 110
baud.

A glass terminal is not the same experience as a teletype.
