I can remember the lovely lilac corona you could get when you poked the
end of a screwdriver *near* the tripler in a CRT set.  Tens of thousands
of volts going *almost* through you (more like around the outside of
you, rather than through your innards), but you were the conductor,
though you couldn't really feel a thing.

There'd, also, be a rather ominous screeching noise from the
electronics.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
