So what does one do with a PLATO terminal? I was acquainted only with the PLATO IV terminal and, although I took a couple of CDC-mandated courses on it (don't remember a thing), I mostly sneaked time to play AIRFIGHT. At one NCC, I remember asking the folks in the PLATO booth if they minded if I checked out their setup. Since there was virtually no one around, I brought up AIRFIGHT. Within 10 minutes, I had a crowd straining for a peek. That's now you sell hardware! --Chuck
