It might have been in 1994, when I got known the first demos. My PC (a Cyrix M1) was hardly able to play videos. And I was fascinated by the moving pictures. “Second Reality” has been the demo, I’ve been running over and over. Since I started programming with gwbasic in 1990, I also realized, in how genius the hackers have been, realizing such animations at the quite restricted hardware back then.

Nice pages, in the old style (focused on content..)

-> https://unix4lyfe.org/xterm/

     About configuring xterm - and about the alternatives.
    Same conclusion as me. Most terminal emulators are nothing else than bloated xxxxx just.
    Essentially I really do not get, why every single distribution I touched, 
    did have misconfigured xterm to the ugliest. Overall, it's the most mature, stable, and resourcefriendly terminal 
    emulation of all.

-> Youtube: nice clip about tiling window managers I guess I’ll give i3 a try.

Another demo, creating everything on the run - out of an 64kB executable.
