Altho I'd seen Color TV before, one of the 1st times that made an impression on me was seeing myself on TV in color at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Of course, those poor roundies had been on 24/7 I guess for nearly 2 years at that point, & your face was a glorious shade of purplish green on one, & greenish purple on the other one. I'm amazed RCA would have let their star attraction go all to shit like that-especially the way they were ballyhooing it-SEE YOURSELF ON.....COLOR TELEVISION !! Here ! Now ! Live ! And each letter of "color" was a different color... There must have been several million people who saw that display, & lots of 'em probly said- "$600 for this ?!? They got a lotta nerve!" Too bad Sony didn't have Trinitron ready then, that woulda skunked RCA but good...
