thanks

Awesome! anonymous November 30 2007, 16:19:14 UTC

Thanks a ton! Man, the nostalgia this app incites is amazing. I can almost make myself believe that the net hasn't yet been flooded by millions of plebs, and is still a mysterious and sparsely populated place ruled by geeks and scientists.

Aie, those were the days. Much despair.

Yes very awesome. I wonder though if the bottom of the 'g' got mapped to the top f the 'w' I notice there's a little dash above the 'w's.

Cheers,
Gordon

Very cool - been looking for this for some time.

When I run it, though, with the retro renderer enabled, I always just see and ascii block for every character.

I have to go select classic rendering, save, then go back and select retro rendering to get it to work.

Any ideas?

It does that. I don't know why. Though you don't have to hit save, just select "classis renderer", pause for a second, then after the view changes, change it back to "retro", then save.

glterminal is eating all 80% of my processing capacity. (i have a powerbook g4, 1.6ghz). any remdies?

Re: thanks, but riffraff January 10 2008, 20:43:43 UTC

it doesn't do this for me. does it consistently do this for you? I have the same class machine and it only uses 2-10% while idle, with small spikes up to 20 or 30 when i list large directories. The only way I get 70% cpu utilization from it is with "cat /dev/random" (which has the side effect of looking pretty).

I'm also getting about 50-60% CPU usage when using the "Classic Terminal" plugin (the usage is pretty low when using default) on a MacBook Air. Is this just because of the crappy integrated graphics? Or is there some sort of optimization that can be done?

Thanks for the effort you put into this.

broken again anonymous March 21 2008, 20:38:49 UTC

I'm getting reports on irc.freenode.net, #macosx that this was broken again by 10.5.1. :(
