edit-1/ btw, if anyone is experiencing the "extra window on startup" phenomenon, there is a <thread> which suggests tweaking the prefs by setting an undocumented parameter:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal TotalTerminalCloseWindowsOnStart -bool YES

[works for me]



edit-2/ in other news, there is a different/similar piece of shareware that simulates vintage cathode-ray tube monitors and various terminal screens which existed in bygone days:

• Cathode

It will work okay for free as well, but... the effects increase with time, and eventually get beyond annoying [curvature, scan-lines and "distress" (e.g., jitter, flicker, noise, horizontal-sync, etc).] It intentionally goes uncontrollably wild, until the $10 shareware fee is paid. (or we relaunch the app)

I dig Cathode too... but all those effects do take their toll, and it runs using around 30% CPU average (on my Core i7 MBP). That, plus the $10 price tag has given me pause thus far. If they can cut the CPU load in half (e.g., TotalTerminal only uses about 10% while running a quartz animation), then i might take the plunge.
