Cathode vintage terminal

Saw 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.

Unfortunately 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.

There 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

Nice 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.

I was the first upvote--did not notice the cost and would not have upvoted had I known. I do love its looks.

Does this tie display speed to a selectable baud rate?

it looks cool, but I don't like the idea of paying for a terminal that hurts your eyes
