Back to Square One
In 1992 when I started my study in Astronomy, most students
at the physics department were using X-terminals.
Workstations were still fairly expensive then and had more
power than any one person needed (on average). The
X-terminal was a fairly dumb device. It had an X server for
graphical representation and tftp client for booting. They
worked very well in combination with UNIX servers.
