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.

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!
