Nice. Works on Ubuntu, and it's free. I got my jollies for a couple minutes, realized how much I prefer readable text and smaller but legible font sizes, and closed it.

Ideally, this CRT-ness could be a Compiz plug-in. Let's say you could CRT-ize a window by pressing Meta-C or something like it. Then just open a terminal full-screen, apply the plug-in and enjoy your vintage computer. For best effect, change your font to a VT-100-like one (I prefer the 3278-like one, but that's a taste thing). BTW, how hard is it to write a Compiz plug-in?
