What happened in

[M's]

No need in telling the year or day, just a couple of notable events from the month and year you were born in.


1st TV broadcast of "Waltons" on CBS

Fifty-four North Korean members of its Red Cross delegation crossed the border at Panmunjom at 10:00 a.m. and were welcomed by their South Korean counterparts, in the first visit North Korean officials since the end of the Korean War.

My month was a big one for computing - it saw the launch of the Commodore 64, as well as the discovery of first ever computer virus found in the wild (affecting Apple 2Es, and written by a 15 year old). It also featured the birth of Kate Middleton (HRH The Duchess of Cambridge) and the tragic crash of Air Florida flight 90 in to the Potomac, due to icing. Ma Bell reached the settlement that would see it split in to the Baby Bells a couple years later, and record cold temperatures were recorded all across to US.
