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'm sorry Dave...

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.
And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.

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.

That, and apparently she is just as badass in regular life as she is in GoT.

But turtles need seat belts. All pets should be properly secured in a carrier and carriers should be belted into the seat.

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!
