==PLATO date==

There's a claim the PLATO plasma display was invented in 1964.  This is probably true for the underlying technology, but not a useful 512x512 display.  For the purpose of this wiki page, maybe 1972 would be more appropriate; see e.g. https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2430 [[User:Larsbrinkhoff|Larsbrinkhoff]] ([[User talk:Larsbrinkhoff|talk]]) 09:13, 16 September 2021 (CEST)

: Concur. The 'Friendly Orange Glow' book on PLATO has a lot of detail about the display development, and probably has exact dates. I'll look. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 14:48, 16 September 2021 (CEST)
: Yeah, pg. 110 talks about the first non-trivial prototype. [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 18:55, 16 September 2021 (CEST)
