A bit sad to take this apart, and it is crazy to see all the gear I had to configure all piled up on top. But stay tuned, since the chances of getting to play with an array of 16 CRT monitors again are slim, I *did* play with it a bit in a period-appropriate way and there will be a video coming.
Just had a flashback to sitting in a horrible 1970s dark brown study carrel in a windowless concrete basement insufficiently lit by ancient, 1960s-type, flickery, humming, green-tinted florescent lights, coding some intensely boring assignment in Pascal on one of these back at U-Vic in 1985.
