scopes [was: how to troubleshoot? ...]

Hey all,

Let's not forget the most important use of the Z input... playing video games!
Old "vector" or "XY" games like Asteroids, Battlezone and the like are 
basically just big O-scopes monitorwise... draw the image, shut off the Z for 
a second, redraw the next image.  If you turn the brightness all the way up 
you can watch the beam drawing EVERYTHING... it's really cool (and bad for 
your monitor ;-)... oh, and if your monitor is out, you can always play your 
games on yer scope....

sorry if I'm a bit OT...
