VT05
The VT05 was the first free-standing CRT computer terminal from Digital Equipment Corporation introduced in 1970. Famous for its extremely futuristic styling, the VT05 presented the user with an upper-case only 5x7 dot-matrix display of 20 rows by 72 columns. The VT05 was a smart terminal that provided cursor addressing using a series of control characters, one of which allowed the cursor to be positioned at an absolute location on the screen. This basic system provided the basis of similar systems in the later and greatly improved VT50 and VT52 series.
The terminal only supported forward scrolling and direct cursor addressing; no fancier editing functions were supported. No special character renditions (such as blinking, bolding, underlining, or reverse video) were supported. The VT05 supported asynchronous communication at baud rates up to 2400 bits per second (although fill characters were required above 300 bits per second).
Internally, the VT05 was implemented using four "quad-sized" DEC modules in a standard form-factor DEC backplane. The cards were mounted nearly horizontally over an off-the-shelf CRT monitor. The keyboard used advanced capacitive sensors, but this proved to be unreliable and later keyboards used a simple four-contact mechanical switch.

Fight Outta You
by: Ben HarperThey'll look you in the eyes and stone you
Then turn and disown you, don't you let them take the fight outta you
They'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame, don't let them take the
fight outta you
Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis, don't let them take the fight outta you
They put the world on a hook, it's worse every time I look
Don't let them take the fight outta you
I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot
I'd rather find out who you are than who you're not
Should have known better than to mistake business for love
Should have known better than to mistake a fist for a glove
It will be in your honor 'til you're not needed any longer, don't let them take the fight
outta you
Don't believe the headlines, check it for yourself sometimes, don't let them take the fight
outta you
The lies you live become you, the love you lose it numbs you, don't let them take the fight
outta you
They say that you've arrived but that's just a high-class bribe, don't let them take the fight
outta you
There's always someone younger, someone with more hunger, don't let them take the fight outta
They'll say you're the one and only
Then straight up leave you lonely, don't let them take the fight outta you
Like a transplant-patient waiting for a donor, don't let them take the fight outta you
