Bloomberg Terminal

.sigma · Jan 14, 2020

Hey guys so my professor just said we will have access to Bloomberg terminals for the semester. I was honestly shocked and I am excited because I've never used one or seen one in person but am wondering if anyone here uses it or has used it?

I'm wondering your experience using terminals?

I like the keyboard and still cannot understand why it is justified (I get it, people are used to it) but who cares.

They keyboard? The terminal (computer itself) has a custom keyboard?

re: reality check
I believe you will be receiving the stripped down Bloomberg Terminals which are available in many public libraries. They are limited to the basics which should suffice for undergraduate college students but may not suffice for graduate MBA and not for Phd students or for traders.

Stripped down refers only to the Bloomberg machine, not to a human being or a sex robot.
