The fact it could boot up an X server is quite extraordinary.

Since it was designed explicitly to serve that purpose, I'm not sure why it's 'extraordinary'.

Disclaimer: I spent time at a 34010 X terminal shop.

I never imagined that. Now I'm surprised there were no desktop computers based on it. I knew the Intel 860 and 960 were designed as computers and got some usage as that, but I never knew the 34010 and 34020 were like that.
