cool-retro-term is a beautiful piece of software, which adds fun and flavour to my day while programming.

Of course there are little niggles with it, but in a way that's part of the fun.

What this program needs, in order to become truly awesome, is the ability to set the BAUD RATE of its simulated CONNECTION to the mainframe or minicomputer (i.e. my Mac).

When I first started writing software it was over a 4800 baud serial connection to the computer in the next room. You could see the screen being redrawn character by character, savouring the glorious phosphor shadow of the cursor as it wrote.

Imagine how much more fun this terminal will be when the phosphor luminescence effect is amplified by the anticipation of watching the characters being written across the screen at 300 BAUD (30 characters per second).

Settings should be: 300 BAUD (30 CPS) 1200 BAUD (120 CPS) 2400 BAUD (240 CPS) 4800 BAUD (etc...) 9600 19200

Thanks for your time.

:+1: for this - it would increase the nostalgia factor a lot!

As a workaround, you can accomplish same thing by using pipe-viewer: cat ~/log.txt | pv -L 30 -q Replace 30 with CPS value and cat ~/log.txt with any command you want to use.

And this solution is compatible with all terminals.
