I'm an old fart too :)  But we used serial terminals to talk to the VAX
when I was doing UNIX development in Berkeley and Munich for UniSoft (now
long dead - RIP) from 1984 to 1989.

Xterminals were used at one of the german companies I worked at in Munich.
I also had a few at home.  They were useful, but it's much more convenient
to have the Xserver runniing on a GPU IMHO.
