If it were REALLY faithful, you'd see a faint image from the previous terminal
session burnt into the phosphor :-)

I can just imagine the day the first Tek scope was made to work:

"Hey Joe, come over and look at this thing.  Ain't that neat!!  Brightness?
Oh, the production tubes will be brighter.  And they won't have all that crud
in the background."

ps  I actually liked using those old Tek scopes.  A display tube hasn't reached
    its prime until there's drifts of glowing green snow around the edges :-)
    It's kinda organic that way.
