Discussion on the Catboy Machine and Biomolding

[Foxboy]

Besides, the CGM copies tend to focus on the end result, not the specifics of consoles.

Could you please explain that a bit more?

Okay this is early Fenspace. Few folks grok enough of what the wave does to have strongly reproducable results.
Effectively, the boskones are working harder to make the "tube" and run the program that makes a catgirl than to make all of the consoles that run the program identical.
At least one CGM console captured by GJ was the printed circuit boards from a hundred pocket calculators wired to a Mundane Soviet-era portable B&W TV and a Chinese manual typewriter. Another was a Commodore 64 and a clearance rack CRT monitor. Etc etc.
