Agreed. It’s sad but I think that unless you were born in the 70s, you may not be old enough to have seen enough CRT terminals to know the difference.
We need at least one CRT terminal in each city so that kids have a chance to experience a real one.

- defrost 10mo agoThose of us born in the 60s also recall many variations of CRT terminals. I had a lot of fun with Tektronix 4010 series storage-tube CRT terminals. In real life they had crisp lines and rarely any perceivable flicker (depended how far you pushed the ray trace line length) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SbCIP1m6hs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SbCIP1m6hs You could drive them (in my experience at least) with a PDP-11, an Apple ][, a BBC micro, or a transputer breadboard.
