So, indeed there are neon Nixie-type gizmos in existence in varying

C: About then. This one had green nixie tubes
(are all green displays
nixie tubes I should ask?).
*NO* green displays are Nixie tubes. Nixie tubes are neon (and not
"GreeNe") and are orange. Green displays are either incandescents with
green filters, or more likely vacuum-fluorescent.
