.... And GE wanted to license the inline Porta Color CRT to Sony and Sony said no thank you, instead buying the rights of the Chromatron from Paramount whose engineers said was hopeless. I give Sony credit for trying even though they failed with the Chromatron, because after all it led in the development of the Trinitron, the most successful color CRT in history. They had a 40 year run with it and big time profits.

Then there was RCA giving up on LCD, Ampex, Eastman Kodak and te beat go's on. Yes, will we ever learn?
