Let's be fair: The old green-screen monitors had much larger font sizes. Maybe that was less harsh. Also, I had younger eyes. ;) Does anyone have an actual App

Does anyone have an actual Apple II green-screen display (40 or 80 columns, 24 rows) emulated in Javascript to share with us? I found an Apple II emulator but it only plays games.
- daeken 15y agoThe shapes on old green-screen monitors were also significantly softer, which I believe helped readability as well. Small, sharp green text on a black background is just killer on the eyes.
- nknight 15y agoWhat's your OS? OS X defaults to much softer font rendering than most systems, and Windows/Linux can be tweaked (try googling for things like "OS X style font" or "soft font rendering" with the name of your OS tacked on)
