It?s Droste Week on RetroBattlestations! Inspired
by a couple of
different posts, I thought it would be fun to do a challenge where
people don?t just post a picture of their computer, but they display
the picture of their computer *on* their computer and post that! It?s
going quite well and I really enjoy reading about the hoops people are
having to jump through to get pictures converted and transferred and
displayed.
There have been photos of monochrome computers with high resolution,
low resolution block graphics, ASCII art on CP/M computers, and even a
mechanical typewriter! What can you come up with?
The best one by far (so far) is the VT240 that's displaying the picture
by using a redefined character set.
That seems silly. If it is a VT240, it can do graphics...
The character set trick is what you would have to go to if you have a
VT220 though.
