[Theodores]

I like it how someone that really knows their subject can explain things so fluidly. I have a good idea of how CRTs work but in the many diagrams and lessons that I have endured I have not read such a fluid, easy to understand overview of how a CRT works.

Not everyone has this gift of being able to explain stuff in layman's terms even if they are expert on the subject. Carl Sagan was best at it, on the other extreme you have those that use jargon beyond the audience's knowledge, pretending to know but not understanding it really. This whole Alto series has had some great writing in it.
