really?  what i've always wanted to see is a characatron, i've heard of
them and seen a couple of webpages talk about them, but no pictures (a
characatron was a crt which deflected the beam through a metal mask with
the character set and then deflected it again onto the part of the
screen where that character belonged!  painful and amazing use of
technology!).  i just love technology pushed to the limits, wish i still
had my hp programmable calculator from '69!
