Another shot of the Education Building's PLATO site,
circa 1980. Note the Control Data IST-1 PLATO terminals
on the table in the foreground. Note the PLATO IV and
PLATO V terminals (with their orange gas-plasma
flat-panel displays) on the tables by the walls. Note
that nobody's using the CDC terminals. :-) I suppose
there was a reason they used to call it the
"friendly orange glow"!
