Fun!  In 1995, I used a VT100 and VT220 in Allan Bros Coffee and in the
Old World Deli in Corvallis.  They were connected to a modem and phone
line and there was a photocopied sheet of local dialup numbers, mainly to
the university.

I think US Robotics was based in Corvallis.

I was given a VT220 in 1997 and configured it as the console on my
homebrew Linux machine.  I think the BIOS required VGA for configuration,
but the kernel would show boot messages on the serial console.  I loved
the amber display and use an amber color scheme in my terminal emulator
to this day.

      Title: Pomegranate Raita (Spiced Yogurt)
 Categories: Condiments, Indian
      Yield: 3 Servings

      1 c  Whole milk plain yogurt;
           - cold
      1 ts Granulated sugar;
           - or to taste
    1/4 ts Roasted cumin powder;
           - heaping
      1 pn Dried mint leaves; scant,
           - crush to dust between
           - hands (optional)
    1/2 ts Chaat masala (a tangy spice
           - mix available in
           - Indian/Pakistani stores or
           - online)
    1/2 ts Black salt (this salt is
           - tangy, substitute with
           - regular)
    1/4 ts Red chilli powder or
           - cayenne; adjust to taste
    1/2 c  Fresh pomegranate seeds; or
           - more/less to taste
           Salt; to taste
           Fresh cilantro leaves;
           - finely chopped

  Beat the yogurt with everything except the pomegranate seeds & salt to
  smooth. I like the raita thick but if you can thin it with little
  water if you like. Refrigerate the yogurt for 20 minutes. Just before
  serving mix in the pomegranate seeds and salt. Sprinkle cilantro.
  Serve.
