I'm only 30, but I do have a hell of a memory.

I can remember when my parents got their first color set, and it was a 1975 Zenith Chromacolor II 19-incher. My grandparents had a 23" Zenith from 1968, but it was always having color sync problems so I don't remember being "wowed" with color!

BTW, I remeber my parents got the Zenith from "Ollie Fretter" appliances in Detroit, and their slogan was "If we can't beat your best deal, we'll give you eight pounds of coffee!!???"

My best "wow" device is the Space Command 400 B&W set from about '58. No one believes it's remote until they see it work. Same effect when I show the electroluminesent dash board on my '61 Imperial. (Or power windows for that matter!)
