At least my proctologist doesn't send me "enjoy your colonoscopy" emails.

We only got 90 seconds of full totality, but it was awesome.

@dartov not bad! My first monitor was an old 70's black-and-white TV to which we connected the BK0010. :) It had a doily for sure, just like any other surface that wasn't a floor or a wall (that's for carpets).

If you're on the opposite side of the planet to the eclipse then you can look straight down and see a double eclipse

@Ertain I think you are referring to "degaussing," which is actually a valid thing to do to a CRT monitor if it starts getting weird rainbowy streaks on it.

I had to google what the heck is a "doily"
30% Yes
70% No, I'm an old lady from Eastern Europe

My first computer monitor had:
19% A clip-on polarized glass screen to catch "bad electrons"
4% A cactus on top of it to soak up "bad radiation"
5% A doily
9% All of the above
61% Sorry, I didn't grow up in Eastern Europe, so I have no idea what this poll is about

@kroitus I recognize a fellow 90's post-soviet block kid when I see one. :)

It dumped more fuel into the math co-processor, which made flames shoot out of the exhaust vents.

What did the "Turbo" button do on the 90's PCs?

Wrong answers only.
