I know it's impossible, but I've always loved to get a hands-on demo... I'd love to learn the UI patterns involved, for example. I can always make my Emacs faster to interact with, dammit!

If you're in New York City, the New York Public Library has a terminal you can use.

There were two in the Greenwich CT library when I lived there in 2019, not sure if they’re still around.

Wow, really? Do they limit your time on it? I would imagine that thing is in constant demand.

		It’s a two hour time limit and you can only take pen and paper with you inside (no photos/data export)

I had occasional access to a Bloomberg terminal 20 years ago and I still miss it. I miss it a lot. I wish they offered a cheaper option for users who only need to use it infrequently. I mean, $25,000 annually is brutal if you're not a broker-dealer.

		What does the terminal really give you that you can't get from various other data sources scattered around the Internet, like your brokerage's own API, third-party data sources, various forums and subreddits, ...? Is it just the real-time firehose nature of the thing?
