Nice!

So that begs the $64,00 question - will a newly designed deflection board for
[insert name of your favorite vector monitor here] with a faster slew rate make
more visually rich games possible? Or is there (a) another aspect of the monitor
involved; or (b) are we at or near the theoretical limits in terms of slew rate for
a vector monitor? I know in the multiple attempts at a new vector monitor design
the main stumbling block is the yoke, but I don't recall what (if anything) was
determined regarding the slew rate.
It would seem a natural compliment to Zonn et al.'s VG board to have a deflection
board of sorts that could draw all these faster vectors. Better, faster, stronger.
