My sincerest condolences. My 3290 was one of the nicest "tubes" I ever used, especially with that whole screen devoted to XEDIT. I even miss the little buzzing sound it made during screen updates; you can just imagine the electrons frying.

We had set up it's big screen with 4 terminal sessions. 19" plasma screen. A big deal at the time. It provided the anti-green screens. Kind of orange-y amber. Supposedly better on your eyes. I can't really remember how long we've had it.
