linux in Logan Schools?

[Mike]

Does anyone know of a book with a good explanation of smart or dumb
terminals? I am looking for a resource that is officially in print, in
the library. My teacher is a psycho and wants to use a library source.

If there is another source that you think I could use to explain my
stance on smart terminals. I was thinking of comparing the data transfer
to an online game such as quake (you're only sent the movements of the
others). Would this be accurate?
