My first one was an ASR-33 TTY.  Really.  
Rolls of paper and UPPER-CASE ONLY.  110 
baud, which gave you 10 characters per 
second.  The Hazeltine "glass teletype"
was a great improvement, at 300 baud, no
paper, and real lower-case.  80 x 25,
but the bottom line was its own status.

The reason for 80, BTW, was that is the 
capacity of a keypunch card.  Used them 
too.

The VT-100 was *much* later.  ;-)
