Ahh, Trinitron, a beautiful CRT I am still heavily into thermionic devices here. I'm probably one of the few where whilst a nuclear explosion may wipe me out, some of my receivers and transmitters may well remain functional, unlike these new fangled silicon chip semiconductor devices

Same. I do have new fangled wirelesses but I also have kit here that might just generate enough RF to drive the Acom

It seems very few people proof read these days, at least in online articles. I regularly see the correct word but in the wrong place. So a spell check wouldn't pick it up.

Is the text rendering supposed to look that rough, it looks like an old printer that's running out of ink?

My PC's? They are entirely conventional Windows 7 64 bit Pro ones, laptops and desktops, and a few Raspberry Pi's and a Lenovo Tiny doing menial tasks. Did you think i meant I had PC's with valves in them?

CRT monitor wise three Eizo ones,

No, just curious what setup you were using with CRT monitors. I am a big fan of retro pc gaming. I use a similar setup with an i7 920 with Vista ultimate just for retro gaming and menial tasks as well, although no CRT but a Dell 19" ultrasharp instead. :cool:

I went through a phase where I was getting eye strain and headaches with an LCD monitor so pulled the Eizo CRT ones out. It turned out the LCD monitor had a fault, but I quite like a CRT display so kept two running.
