1983 – The last episode of M*A*S*H – Goodbye, Farewell and Amen aired to a record 125 million viewers (estimate). It became the most watched television episode in the US – where it stays today. Some even speculate this will never get bumped off due to Over the Top Television options like Hulu Plus and Netflix where people can choose to watch it later.

Still, the number of viewers was almost half the US population in 1999.

Feb 29, 2012 – The Raspberry Pi was released after 3 years of R&D.
