I have tons of old terminals and CRT VGA monitors just so I can work
on a real thing. There is something magical about the glow of
phosphor on those old tubes.
Nothing like the real thing. Man, I'd kill for another 5151 monitor (and
something to use it with).
Second to that I'd settle for an Apple monochrome display (either the
Monitor ][ or the Monitor ///).
