VT1000[edit]

Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 15:45, 23 September 2015 (UTC).

  • Can we find something more interesting? Products usually have a name of some sort; it's rather hard to sell them without that. Daniel Case (talk) 02:26, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
  • Totally agree. How about this? Prioryman (talk) 11:40, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that DEC's VT1000 X terminals were designed for simplicity because most users were not fully utilizing more powerful graphics-capable workstations?
Love it! Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT2: ... that DEC's VT1000 X terminals were designed for simplicity after they found their expensive workstations were being used mostly as glorified text terminals?
  • New, long enough, neutral (a no-brainer for a technical article), no close paraphrasing or any other copyvios detected. Interesting piece of 'puter history good to go. @Maury Markowitz: I made a few adjustments; the VTX2000 is not mentioned in the body, but that should be an easy insert; the article doesn't appear in the navbox included—again, easy, but I don't know where to put it. 23W 15:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
