These young'uns today! There was no such thing as pixels in the days of dumb terminal green screens. They could only print characters, which is why Sean specifies the resolution as only 80x22. I have to say, I'd never used a real dumb terminal until a few months ago - although I'm not sure a Sun serial console really counts as a dumb terminal? I've only ever used emulators. I did use a teletype machine while I was in University though (early 90's).
