Actually, that wasn't the one I was thinking of, although it was one I'd seen 
before and forgotten about - so thanks for sharing!

I'm thinking that something like that (though obviously not porn-based :-) 
would make a nice little self-contained display for our museum. PC + soundcard 
under the desk, nice old Tek 'scope running as a little scrolling message 
display with the museum name or something...  I don't know, it's oddball 
enough to be quite eye-catching, but fairly trivial to implement.
