Weird. I’ve programmed tek vector graphics terminals, and I’d never heard about this before today.
Actually, what’s really cool is the giant vector displays a few companies made in the 60s:

That looks like something straight out of Star Trek (TOS)!

You’ve programmed Tek vector terminals, as in, you used to work for Tek? Or just on the side as a hobby or something?
As a hobby. I set up a tek-4015 running geometric fractals (trees, snowflakes, etc.) in an art gallery type installation once, about 20 years ago.
That’s pretty sweet. Have always wanted one of those terminals; I feel like you could do so many things with them.
No trackball? Tsk ram :)
Great pic
