[comp.periphs] NCD x-window terminals

I am considering buying some X-window terminals from NCD, probably the
NCD-16 model.  I would appreciate hearing evaluations from anyone who
has first-hand experience with using these boxes.

Questions:
(1) How robust is the software?
(2) How robust is the hardware?
(3) Does the monitor really look as good as the specs would imply?
(4) How is the keyboard layout and feel?
(5) Do memory upgrades really help performance?  
    If so, under what circumstances?

I suspect that all this has been hashed out here before, so please
reply by e-mail.
