TIL There’s a Terminals Wiki
And I’m gonna be stuck here for a few days, absorbing all the photos

Particularly this IBM 3278

@cypnk The VT05 had a similar aesthetic, although without the extra keys on the side. One of my favorites, although the keyboard is meh.

@th I love how these look like they belong on a spaceship. Or some kind of mission control for spacecraft

@cypnk Yes, on a very sleek, fully automated sort of space ship. For your more dystopian space ships with less automation, the MDT-1900 is more the grungy aesthetic.

@th any computer with a LUNCH button is a computer to my taste

@th @cypnk oh damn what a cutie

would definitely put on my space ship somewhere

@th @cypnk I seem to remember that these were 386 machines running Windows.

@th @cypnk I guess some emergency vehicle terminal? Hmm I can't find the picture of which one was in Terminator 2...

@cypnk @th Apparently the one in Terminator 2 was the MDT-870

@HarneyBA @cypnk oscilloscopes don't make very good terminals, unfortunately.
