That's disgusting. I know lots of people who would pay $25 or so for these
because that's all they can afford. They'd love some cheap terminals. We
have hundreds of people on local BBSes who *can'* afford a terminal and call
up using those horrible 40-column teletext devices U.S.Videotel rents.

If nothing else, donate them to some charity. Throw in some $50 1200 baud
modems and a list of BBS numbers. DON'T WASTE A PERFECTLY GOOD RESOURCE!
