Re: Phase out of green screen terminals

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The current "thinking", if you can call it that, is that nobody
really wants "regular" terminals, so the twinax controller ends
up being a option that one MUST order in order to have terminals.

As Neil points out, there is NO WAY they would ever do away with
twinax support on the current or proably any future boxes. You can
already have a box with no twinax controller, so what's the big deal.
