Tektonics terminals... now you're talking.

Once, I thought I was the cat's pyjamas when I got delivered a
Falco terminal. It did VT220 emulation, and you could hot-key to
a Tektronix emulated screen too.
Good lord... I developed GKS graphics on that thing (if anyone
remembers that)

This was in the days when REAL Tek terminals came on wheels.
