I'm finding the amber monitor aesthetic of my terminal sessions reduces eyestrain and generally keeps me mellow, perhaps due to the warm nostalgic feeling it evokes.
@msh my family's first computer had an amber monitor... memories
@videomurder @deutrino my dad brought home a DEC Rainbow 100 from a surplus auction that was only a couple years old at the time...the description stressed it was NOT IBM compatible and it came with no software so he got it super cheap.
The model name was ironic--it would display a "rainbow" in several shades of glorious amber. Until we found some of its weirdly formatted 5.25 floppies I used it in VT100 mode to dial into BBSes.
My terminal settings try to mimic the amber-ness of those times.
