Wow, CRT's to store data ? The oldest memory I knew of were the matrices
of tiny magnetic tori (my ancient electronic teacher at the time, dug it
out of his personal "museum"... ), but CRT's, it's probably even older
technology... I wonder how it works...

Hopefully it's explained in detail in there, I will search...
