As someone that was happy that I could finally afford owning computers with a graphics display on them, this going back to the terminal doesn't stop surprising me.

We still do horses, but hardly anyone is favouring them for travelling around the continent delivering mail.

Kudos to the people that would rather experience that, I guess.

Same here. I'm also amused that the people that do like the experience haven't by this time replaced the protocol (termcap entries, escape sequences, etc) now that memory sizes and network speeds are many orders of magnitude higher than they were when the protocol they are using was designed.
