GLTerminal emulates a 1970’s terminal monitor, complete with flaws in brightness, warped display curvature, and flicker. It even simulates baud rate lag. And! for extra verisimilitude, the character colors can be green or amber.

Well I must say that this is pretty cool! I set up my regular terminal black with green font to bring back the old look, but I forgot how crappy old computer screens used to look. Something to show off to the friends(if you have any being a computer nerd and all...), or to see the look on the face of a Windows user, when you pull up the command line. They just might think you haven't upgraded your computer in 30 years! Thanks for the link.
