Gotta be amber for me, but that's historical.

Yes, green... but what about your VTxxx preference?

Just acquired a lovely piece of early history with a knob; it lets you change between all three modes. Must've been pretty fancy in the day!

Just need to find a way to interface a Model M to it and I'll have a perfect ssh box :yes:

I mean VT in the general sense, but I was exposed to a VT220 early on -- in amber. Amber is just soothing somehow.

Green makes me feel like a hacker, man. Like in the movies!

You ever see a movie with an orange terminal?

I thought not.

Obviously a popular way to pass the time these days.

VTX 1800 isn't bad, but a bit big for you yet.

You should get a 650 next. :Pokey:

Hahaha this thing even has that phosphor ghost thing happening. Baud rate isn't too flash, so if I cat /var/logs/auth.log or something in green, you get a peculiarly familiar effect.
