I think drinking would be required.

Everybody! Grab your full-body thermal bikinis! It's Spring Break in Norway!

WTF, I'll run it past the wife.

are you required to use a CRT monitor?

For reals, is it still 1996 in Norway, or is that just a pic from 1996?

CRT is fast, but also very bad for your eyes... it's the closest thing to shooting lazers direcly into ur eyes.

Not hard to figure out: First pic is from the first con, second pic is from the most recent one... notice the difference in monitors.

Still, if it is somehow 1996 today in Norway, think of all the great retro keyboards!

But couldn't we just shoot lasers directly into our eyes?
