I realy have to say something on this conversation. We (at Cyberpipe/Kiberpipa) DIDN'T use 8080. The computers that are runing our VideoWall are old but not that old:) Nine of them are IBM PS/1 whith Pentium 66MHz and 3 of them are PackardBell Pentium 75MHz. Monitors are color and not black and white. Computers boot from floppy because they don't have Harddrives and are using ltsp tehnology. For displaing they use mplayer's alib to change the movie image in to ASCII symbols and to split the image on 12 monitors one of our guys whrited a simple script (i dont know how does it work). The image is not in color because the alib we are using does not support color ASCII symbols.
And Slovenia is not a developing country. It has the best GDP of all the countries that joined EU on 1 may and bether than Portugal...
