@monsieuricon I sometimes had to polarize the monitor. Does that count?
@monsieuricon Had none and grow up in west of the Turkey which is Eastern Europe. Maybe since west of Turkey influenced by France?
@monsieuricon I grew up in Eastern Europe and I still had to look it up.
My first monitor was my parents' TV. I got this HC for Christmas when I was 9 and we occasionally connected it to my parents' TV whenever I'd use it. Which may have had a doily - had to look that up, had no idea it was called that in English. My mom put them on everything (still does).
@monsieuricon That does remind me of a trade union push in 80s (??) Australia that visual display units should not emit any electro-magnetic radiation. At all. Caused much hilarity at the time! (How apocryphal this was I don't know, but I was there at the time and there were no internet memes...)
