This terminal program for OSX mimics a vintage glass teletype machine, with screen warpage and everything!Link (Thanks, Karl!)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.
