Team orange or team green?
Oh man, I had to use the orange ones sometimes at my first programming job. They were VAX/VMS dumb terminals. It sucked getting stuck with one of those, because the job was making a visualization GUI for some data, and these ones literally couldn't run the GUI; they were text-only. Eventually they started reserving one of the GUI-capable machines for me.
That's similar to early CGI when they had to hand code all the positioning and wouldn't know if it worked until the film was developed.
Haha, that's giving me way too much credit. I was a high school student and was still figuring out what the GUI bits did, like the ArcBall widget, so I practically couldn't do anything useful on the GUI itself on days when I didn't have a GUI machine. I could do some of the behind-the-scenes linear algebra stuff, though. Like, there was an array that held a 3d vector at every point in space that represented the flow field, and they wanted to be able to visualize cross-sections, so for that I needed to make a 2d grid of 2d vectors on a single plane. That sort of thing basically had to be done blind anyway.
Green al the way
Orange at school, green at home.
