when I was working on the CHCS system at Walter Reed, I could log in on a 
vt320, and perform most order entry processes faster than the terminal could 
keep up.  Many, many times, I baffled my bosses by logging in, entering an 
order, printing the confirmation and logging out... before the MOTD even 
finished displaying. (gotta love typeahead buffering).  I would walk over to 
the printer and they would watch as the terminal continued to 'ghost' it's 
way through the menus and then log itself out.
