This was an actual typing test using the QAZ keys over on the right side which is less horrible than I imagined it would be. I probably got lucky, though, because there weren't many Q's or Z's in my test.

I don't know where you found that CRT to take a bizarre picture of, but I'm here for it.

Haha it was at my wife's family cottage for decades and we tried to sell it in a garage sale but nobody wanted it so it's been sitting in our basement for several years. I had a SNES and N64 hooked up to it for a while but didn't play them much so now it's back in the basement.

Also getting a screenshot of a typing test on it was kind of a huge pain and I probably did it in the most convoluted way possible. But in the end I was super happy with how the shot turned out, especially since a friend of mine made this insanely cool video out of it.

Do you have a copy of that video that isn't hosted on a centralized platform? And I agree, I love this shot.

Here it is! (Sorry I’m guessing imgur wasn’t really what you had in mind when you said not a centralized platform)

Thank you. Close enough I suppose.
