"Remember Wyse "thin clients" from the 1980's?"

I remember them even from the 2000's, and the last ones were phased out along with the last SCO OpenServers about 10 years ago. We also used Link Tech terminals (Wyse compatible), Falco and some others too.

Can't say I really miss the Chase serial boards, cabling, Epromming, the MUX boxes and SLIP lines. Troubleshooting remotely with so many moving parts was just a PITA. Thank god for ethernet connectivity and off-the-self parts these days!
