So, how come I can't stop thinking, "Nice way to burn a CRT, displaying a steady image like that!"

Phil--that clock is awesome. Not quite as practical as a Nixie-tube clock, but still a good conversation piece for the office.

LOL! Very funny! (They didn't have their kickers high enough on the "interviews", though, which was annoying. Their heads all disappeared into the backdrop.) [Razz]

So Brad, did you produce that or what?
No I just found it on the internet. This whole new trend of "making of" documentaries just angers me. They are all fluff with no actual content, just bogus interviews with the cast "oh golly it was such a fun experience, blah, blah, puke". Apparently I'm not the only one who shares that opinion.

Not only that but it really put the stupidity of the bootleg thing out there too...two birds with one stone sort of thing. I liked it a lot. The nailed the repeating of "talking points"...even that they didn't want their "bootleg" to be bootlegged or shown in an inferior medium (DVD only!). I'm surprised the studio doesn't go after them for just the clips they have. I also like the guy taking the call in the theatre...they seemed to have captured the "feel" of the stupidity too!

Randy: Notice the display image moves around every few seconds to prevent an image burn-in.

Sorta similar for the reason of the "orbiters" used in Image Orthicon TV cameras. Although those are optical, the method in the CRT clock is electronic.

Current televisions use something called "Wobbulation" (SP??) don't they, to prevent burn in?

I kind of know that but, with all those years of my teachers bashing, "Don't burn my CRTs!" into my skull, it's become sort of an autonomic reaction.

Now that CRT oscilloscopes are getting rare the sense is getting even more heightened.

I just bought an old, used scope and, knowing that I probably won't ever be able to find replacement parts for it... at least not inexpensive parts... I tend to baby it. If I walk away from it for more than two minutes I always try to turn the intensity down.

It's almost like a post-hypnotic suggesiton! [Wink]

This child would do very well on an airplane, based upon this video from 15 to 25 seconds.

That kid needs his vocal cords neutered...for the same reason dog owners are having their pet's vocal cords cut to prevent annoying barking.

OBTW: I think I'll look up that 19 y/o from the Price Is Right...not only is he 19, cute, but RICH too! Hubba Hubba! [beer] [thumbsup]

Wow! They thought of EVERYTHING! [Wink]
