Yes I know it’s a bit old, but I stumbled on it again and couldn’t resist because it seems to provoke some kind of nerdgasm amongst techies. Funny as hell and incredibly well done.
Also enjoy a HN thread pertaining to this video, to get an idea of how the crowd reacted when this video popped up.
Description from Wikipedia:
The Computer Chronicles was a US television series, broadcast during 1981-2002, which documented the rise of the personal computer from its infancy to the immense market at the turn of the century. The series was created in the Fall of 1981, by Stewart Cheifet (later co-host), then the station manager of the College of San Mateo’s KCSM-TV, initially broadcast as a local weekly series. Jim Warren was its founding host for its 1981-1982 season. It aired continuously from 1981 to 2002 with Cheifet co-hosting most of its later seasons. Gary Kildall served as co-host for six years (1983 to 1990) providing insights and commentary on products as well as discussions on the future of the ever-expanding personal computer sphere.
Go on and browse to this fine collection of exquisite time brewed computer chronicles videos. I guarantee you hours of fun and why not some nostalgic feelings for some of you old school geeks. Even if you’re not a techie, it is enough for you to have lived in that innocent age or to have seen some of them live, to get a little bit nostalgic. 😉
