Wait until you've used a VT-05 as the console; 72x20, upper case on
display with few symbols (so Unix showed "{" as "\(" for example), a
switch that told it to send lower case, and another switch that echoed
locally (useful for passwords).
And the upper-case printers that overstruck "{" as "(\b-".... Those poxy
things were about as Unix-hostile as you could get.
