Re: 90 and 100-degree tubes

One of the better reasons to use a 100 degree instead of 90 degree tube
is the tube will tend to be shorter from tip of the neck to the screen.
This is desirable in that you can get the monitor to fit in the game
without doing something like the back door extension like in Gorf.
