Wyse 30s and 50s are generally OK, but they only have one attribute
(protect) which doesn't occupy a character position. This can be used
for standout but it's painful. If your applications make heavy use of
underline, dim, etc. look elsewhere (maybe at Wy-60s, which I haven't
used).
The Wy-50 is worth the extra money over the 30 if it's going to be used
heavily (and you can turn the stupid status line off).
