that does not stop my company, we have a weird bulky "laptop" running windows 3.11 still in active use, its about the size of a cinder block and the keyboard clips over the screen.
and we also have some green screen terminal from the 70s (or early 80s i cant remember) that we break out occasionally. ill find the model number its pretty cool

i think we had actual pci cards that did the same thing at one point, but then another department wanted them and so we gave them all away?

i have no idea how much they cost new, an absurd amount to be sure
