I started my pc life with an amber screen. It was the monitor for an 286 XT.

Me too. I wish I never got rid of mine. Amber monochrome is just the best.

And the games never looked too bad.. finished space quest 1 to 3 on that screen.

330+ in amber, with the non wps lk201. Kinda jelly.

[-]

Most of the lk201 keyboards I end up seeing are the ones with the silkscreen for the word processor that was part of DEC's ALL-IN-1 office suite. http://xahlee.info/kbd/vt220_terminal.html You should be able to see both kinds of keyboard here. Functionally identical, just a different silkscreen on the caps.

Sorry, 'wps' ?

bigbosmer@reddit

Nice! What are you noodling around with on it right now?

[-]

delphinealdrine@reddit (OP)

I'm planning to use it to manage the building automation of my university.

I’ve just realised that in the early days of the web terminals were still relevant with browsers like lynx, after a few years of JavaScript they couldn’t really meaningfully use the web but in these days of LLMs you could completely have an engaging time typing back and forth with an llm, you could probably do it over the serial port to a raspberry pi running Ollama.

Amber plasma displays are my favorite screens ever. How I’d wish they made them in high res for modern systems.

[-]

Foxiest_@reddit

This a CRT though.

They always remind me of portal because of the end credits

dm319@reddit

That display looks remarkably clear.

Dang that crisp amber screen gave me a warm and fuzzy memory

[-]

AistoB@reddit

Lucky! I’ve always wanted one. They are ridiculously priced on eBay for something that was trash not too long ago.

SolarpunkGnome@reddit

Amber is the best. Still run my terminal emulators that way too

Always like Amber better than green phosphor!

Man, I remember dialling into BBS’s and the “internet” on computers like these in the university lab 30 years ago.

How would on make linux mint look like this?

That's dope as hell!

ChloeTigre@reddit

Excellent! Is it snappy? How well does it work with tmux?

Oscarcharliezulu@reddit

Keyboard is super nice as well

Beautiful screen!

[-]

rpocc@reddit

My congratulations, buddy!

[-]

CostEffectiveSalmon@reddit

I need you to put your head over the top of the display and inhale deeply through your nose for me.

[-]

TygerTung@reddit

Pretty sure they used to have terminals like this at the libraries in my city, back in the '90s.

Love it!

Fedora still ships locales for ascii and us-iso by default, while debian and the like have dropped them. Goes a long way to solving the problems with modern tui software, but there's still lots that doesn't respect terminfo/locale.

I love those amber screens!

I used to have a WYSE 60 at the foot of my bed in school run to my FreeBSD machine back in college at the end of a 25' serial line. I miss that terminal so much. Now a days, with you tube, I probably could have fixed it, as one day it just stopped working. I should have kept it.

[-]

n1ghtbringer@reddit

I had an amber WYSE 60 that I played with in college and eventually ditched when I moved out of my parents' house. Mine worked but I never had a "real" use for a terminal when the console was 5 feet away.

That and the Compaq Deskpro I trashed when it died (in retrospect, I probably blew a tantalum) are the things I miss the most that I've gotten rid of.

My usage was that I could sit up, login, and get my email before I had to get out of the bed on that cold stained concrete and make my way to my desk chair. Additionally, the weekends when the roomie was not in, I could fire up the stereo and run mpg123 to play some mp3s without leaving the bed.
