Agreed.  I've used a huge array of terminals over the years from many 
different manufactures, connected to may different types of 
computers.  Hands down the VT420 is my favorite.  I was lucky enough 
to be given a pile of them when a friend was having some troubles in 
the late 90's.  My only problem with VT420's is that I no longer have 
enough desk space for as many as I'd like to be able to use.
