I'm in need of some expert advice.  I'm considering buying either 
a refurbished Televideo 905 (by mail order for $150) or a used Wyse 
50 terminal in town ($215).  I've been told that these are comparable 
machines.  I used to have a Televideo 921 in my office and loved it;  
and I've been told that the 905 is a newer model of the 921, but with 
a 14" screen instead of a 12".  I believe the Wyse also has a 14" screen,
but I don't know if it has the handy row of function keys that the
Televideo does.

Can you tell me anything which would make one of these more 
attractive than the other?  Thanks for any insight you can offer.

                                David
