Cathode vintage terminal
- terabytest 12y agoUnfortunately the 9 dollar price and the lack of assurance that this is not just a toy doesn't make me very compelled to buy it. Would have thought more about it if it were something like $1, though.
- escapologybb 12y agoYeah, I paid The $9 pricetag thinking it would be something other than a toy. And while it looks nice, and is fun to play with for a while; I haven't really found much utility for it where day-to-day work is concerned. It is really slick looking though!
- swah 12y agoBut it is a proper terminal.
- valarauca1 12y agoDoes this tie display speed to a selectable baud rate?

- jrlocke 12y agoI was the first upvote--did not notice the cost and would not have upvoted had I known. I do love its looks.
- sebular 12y agoSaw this a couple years ago and downloaded the demo. Even though I think $9 is dreaming for something like this, it was pretty cool. Also, the way the demo "expires" was creative. The static and flicker effects just get worse and worse until it's unusable.
- gerbal 12y agoThere is a linux Open Source QT based project that is quite similar [1]. Or, if you have xscreensaver installed you can just run the following: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/apple2 -text -fast -bs -program bash [1] https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term
- alekratz 12y agoit looks cool, but I don't like the idea of paying for a terminal that hurts your eyes
- celticjames 12y agoNice emulator, but I'd love to have the real thing, a genuine old-school monochrome monitor, the kind that you used with a Hercules graphics card. Those monitors were so easy on the eyes. You could stare at Pascal all day. Figuring out the details of making it work is one of my 'someday' projects.
