Cool Juan!
I like the way it uses the inverse color set for a dimmer green
background and brighter letters.
I noticed a Hitachi MB6890 (Hitachi Peach in Australia) sitting behind
him on the bench. These were available here in Australia and I had
always wanted one. A 6809 system with slots. He even had the official
Hitachi color monitor!
