You can almost smell the tubes burning…

terminal.gif What? You don’t have a terminal app for OS X that brings back all the goodness of the old CRT terminals (flickering block characters, screen curvature, scanlines and the smell of phosphorus burning)? Well, now you do—minus the burning smell.

This is an older program that’s been hacked to run on OS X and as the screen capture above shows, it works fine under Tiger (10.4.4). According to a rumor I tracked down, this app was originally written by developers in the OpenGL section of Apple some years back.

To make it work “correctly”, you’ll still have go to “Preferences” (under “Session”?), choose “Renderer” and then “Classic Terminal”.
