Hello there! One of my current projects is just crying out for an archaic design. In particular, I'm trying to imitate the style of a 1980s BBS or Minitel display. Therein lies the problem: it would be extremely useful to have a news-ticker, but a straight-up marquee is a touch too smooth-scrolling to work. Ideally, I want something extremely jerky. (By which I mean rather than scrolling smoothly, it would bump the text across the screen one letter at a time. The font is, of course, monospaced.) I have no background in java or javascript beyond some fundamental AJAX, so I have no clue if this is possible, and if so, how to make it happen. I'm open to any suggestions or input anyone may have at this stage. I suppose I could get into Flash, but that means sacrificing the ability for people to copy information out of the website, which is undesirable for this project.
