When LCD screens were becoming popular I was able to get a Radius Color Pivot pretty cheaply.

Without the Nubus card it would only display in portrait mode. I got one a little later but it needed a different chip to display more than 256 colors.
That thing was heavy. I wish it didn't break.
Man, I can’t imagine rotating a CRT. The stand for that thing must have weighed more than the display!
I have a 24” ASUS ProArt monitor that does the flip super easy.

I was never a big comic book reader as a kid. I'd see them in the barber shop (mid 70s), read a bit and didn't have much interest.
I did watch that show and found it really oddball, almost to the point of annoyance. Probably because I though Saturday mornings called for more Loony Tunes, Pink Panther, Puff'nstuff, etc.

Compared to the massive consoles of the era, that actually was pretty slim. While they obviously look retro now, I have no doubt that those were impressive sets in the day.

Goodyear illuminated tires on a Ford Consul Classic 315 Sedan - 1961


In 1956 Elvis Presley got a polio vaccination on national TV. That one event was partly responsible for raising immunization levels in the United States from 0.6% to 80% in just 6 months!

The King vaccinated. Checkmate anti-vaxxers!
