Turn on the tv
Go get some food/drink while the CRT warms up so you can see
Kids these days don't fully understand that computers are built. They have no conepts of "it takes time". They hit a button and expect flashy lights in response.
"Food comes from the grocery store"
"Computers help our life"
No concept of reality. No conept that food ends up in a grocery store, or that computers were built to help our lives.
If your CRT was taking that long to warm up, you had some hours on that beast.
Wasn't rich. Had old CRT.
Had to give it a good minute or so before full picture. Enough time to grab a drink or snack.
Yeah, I remember those. So old the thing took three minutes for full brightness and the blue gun was so dead that everyone had green hair.
