Ha.  I scoff in their general direction.  Just wait until the IBM 3273 
Model 42 Holographic Display Station comes out.  THEN they'll be sorry! It 
will without a doubt project in 7 colors, underscore, revvideo, and even 
blink.  But I have to admit that making it bigger than 24x80 is likely to 
make one crane one's neck a bit far.  And at our age that's not good.

(Word on the street is that if you have HD Mist on which to project it, 
the mandril pic using Programmed Symbols is awesome.  Totally.)
