[pchelpers] Re: What can a person do with 50 X windows terminals?

The monitors could be handy for other systems. If you want to make a
network, I wonder if these are 'diskless' terminals? If they are they
need to be connected to a server that will allow them to download their
operating system on boot via the network. Set it all up and you could
have the oldest office in the area.

Have you thought of recycling?
