DAE learn about nixie tubes from Monsters Inc?

Princess Alice

All the numeric displays in the film use nixie tubes, and my curious 10-year-old self looked them up online and immediately fell in love with their retro look...

Not Monsters Inc., but something, I just don't recall what.

Probably officially, though my more recent fascination with them was brought about by a Verge story about the second-generation Nixie watch.

Imipolex G

I actually just learned about them. From this thread.

I've known about Nixie tubes since I was little, though I remember not really understanding what they were at first and thinking they were like the mini-LEDs in my bio-dad's TI-30.

(And then there was the Panaplex panels that a lot of 1970s and early 1980s stuff used. I remember Kmart used old DTS cash registers that used them until, like, 1988 or so.)
