Ah, yes, but it was the *perfect* size for mounting in the computer rack:
the monitor was even with the front of the rack, and the keyboard stuck
out about ten inches, just enough to get your knees under.  Of course,
when the monitor went fritzy, you had to open the cabinet above it and
bang on the *top* of the terminal, but it didn't really happen that often
to me.
