Comment CDC Cyber 1700 (Score 1) 147
While we are on wish emulaters.
I wish I had a CDC Cyber 1700 emulater with the Cyber 1820 extensions just like I use to use in 1978 (remember the Beegees and "Staying Alive"?).
I'd also love a monochrome terminal with red phosphors like I had then. You don't see those now. Some of the CRTs actually drew on the screen and they looked awesome but they were limited and the raster CRTs have taken over everywhere.
We used to waste hours playing Lunar Lander (we wrote it of course, no graphics (I hadn't even heard the word then), just numbers and it was still fun).
We've come a long way since I started 24 years ago.
