I thought that the Plato terminal, circa 1964, was the first practical
plasma display.

   The first practical plasma video display was co-invented in 1964 at
   the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by Donald Bitzer, H.
   Gene Slottow, and graduate student Robert Willson for the PLATO
   computer system.

Also,

     And, even more off-topic:

       In August 2004, a version of PLATO corresponding to the final
       release from CDC was resurrected online. This version of PLATO
       runs on a free and open-source software emulation of the original
       CDC hardware called Desktop Cyber. ... Desktop Cyber accurately
       emulates in software a range of CDC Cyber mainframe models and
       many peripherals.

     o Now, I just need a nine-track tape drive to read my old tapes.

     o How much faster is my Raspberry Pi 4 (1.5 GHz clock, 8 GB memory)
       emulating a CDC 6600 (10 MHz clock, 982 KB memory)?
