“Andrew Back, the guy behind the Open Source Hardware User
Group, has given us the perfect example of old meeting new by
posting the image you see above. What you are viewing is a
Raspberry Pi beta board hooked up to Thandar Monitor TV2S, which
was manufactured over 30 years ago. The image it is displaying is
of the DesignSpark homepage, a website for online engineering
resources and design support.“The setup isn?t exactly practical or even usable, as Back
admits, but it could mean a resurgence of effectively dead
technology. How many of you have a CRT display stored away
somewhere? Does it still work? Were you considering a new flat
screen display purchase to run the Raspberry Pi with?”
