Also, 3270 emulation was not a requirement or goal for the IBM PC,
and didn't lead to the 25th line.
All true.
The IBM PC was 1981. The IBM 3270 PC was 1983.
It could have been a lucky accident that the 25 line proved
useful 2 years later.
Knowing IBM, I would say selecting a monitor with 25 lines
was because it was the cheapest option at the time :)
