It still works, even on laptops. But not as clear / strong as with CRT 
screens. This is an example with a Samsung SyncMaster 205B, which is
an LCD screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzmVl1o4-tA

It's still fun to play with it to demo creative use of technology.
I pull it out once every 3 years or so.

I would say, keep the port as long it's effortless. Once it needs 
touching, it can go away.

Best regards,

Hi ports@,

This program is from 2001 and was written with CRT monitors in mind,
so I don't think anyone still uses this.

>From DESCR:

Tempest for Eliza is a program that uses your computer monitor to
send out AM short wave radio signals. You can then hear computer
generated music in your radio. It teaches you that your computer
can be observed. Tempest for Eliza works with every monitor,
every resolution.
