Who remembers when computers had terminal interfaces instead of GUI's?

I had to build an 8085 microprocessor circuit that had to interface with terminal for a computer science class.

I still have one and use it. It's a Dorio which was originally made by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation). I connect it to a computer that runs OpenBSD.

For certain things, it is superb.
