I believe some modern WWPs no longer have screens inspired by glodfish bowls. However some PCs are going the opposite way http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/m...ves/144629.asp [note the two screens in the background, the left one shows the picture projected into the sphere, the right one includes a window showing the touches that it is sensing] |

CRTs were always circular (well in Braïn's days anyway), and fitted with a rubber mask to give the correct aspect ratio VERY approximately oblong (fsvo) , which did reduce the diagonal to a little less than the diameter of the chube. |
