A bit cranky. I feel like repurposing my raspberry pi for netbsd and pretending it's 1983 when I go on it. I love using ee dee
I'd just need an old 4:3 flat dell monitor (a big ass terminal is definitely not going to fit in my room), an HDMI to VGA cord and I think I'd be happy for 15 minutes when I'm feeling down.

This might not be as easy to pull off as you think it is, active digital to analogue converter is a pretty complex device, a quality one might cost you more than RasPi does.
Passive one won't work if video card was never designed with DVI-I and DVI-A outputs capable of using a VGA connector, I don't think the video chip in RasPi can do that, it's too new. Nvidia dropped support in 700 series and their user base is more likely to have demand in older displays.
