You think wrong. The wyse 60 does not suffer from standout gliches
or spaces being taken. Unless it's set up in Wyse 50 emulation mode,
off course.

>Going back to the Wyse 50 is like driving a bad rental car.

But it shure is a fast rental car! When set at 38400 baud, the Wy50
is more then twice as fast as a Wy60. The Wy60 has the same
processor , but it runs a much more complex program.

I really don't understand why terminal manufacturers still use
Z80's and the like. Computers are getting faster and cheaper
all the time, but this evolution does not seem to take place
for terminals. It's more like a de-evolution.
