Rack KVMs
posted by Shane McEwan on Dec. 17, 2013, 5:30 a.m.
I must be prehistoric as my first terminal was an ADM-3. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A) (The Unix shorthand of using the tilde (~) for your home directory came from the ADM-3 keyboard having the tilde on a key labelled "Home".) My second terminal was the HP2621A. (http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=242) After switching to a MS-DOS PC (running Telix and Procomm) I put the ADM-3 up on a shelf connected to our Unix server running 'top' all day so I could monitor the system. Good times. Shane.
