Point taken. ;) I was speaking strictly. (something that ALWAYS

Really? I thought vector displays normally use
electrostatic
deflection, whereas raster displays normally use magnetic
deflection.
There's certainly nothing about either raster or vector
methodologies
that implies or precludes either type of deflection.
