"the well known plotting bugs of the original 4010"

You can only erase the entire screen? Overwrite doesn't replace a character, but actually just draws over it leaving the old character behind? Lack of scrolling ability? Funny things happen if you send graphics coordinates too fast (making the "short mode addressing" useless at high speeds?) Didn't it also use RC networks for the serial clock, and there was a pot to tweak? That was the thing that struck me as being really chintzy at the time, but there was that pot for rubbering the frequency... GIN mode? (And the other GIN mode?) And the funny characters that could come out that some minicomputer OS's just did not get along with? Of course, to you and me these are just intrinsic characteristics of a 4010, but to someone who grew up with non-storage-scope CRT's they probably could be frustrating. Tim.
