It isn't a real Plato terminal if it doesn't have the square key. I never new what it was for, but I was glad it was there.

The other thing I miss is pressing shift-stop to log on and off.You could always be confident nobody had come up with some clever password-stealing fake logon screen, because shift-stop would get you out of anything.


Where's the Orange Glow?


Where is The Friendly Orange Glow? :-)


I just wish they had a Mac Binary for Apple Silicon - or source I could compile myself.
