Computing from the past

I was going to talk about a pretty interesting idea/theory about our military and the use of virtual reality. But I became a little busy today and didn't get the time to set down and type out an actual full blown blog session on what I really wanted to write about.

I do however want to drop a quick post about a site I found with videos of the last 20 years or more of computers and technology. If any of you remember the good old days of services like The Well (predates the Web), which was a BBS service, then you'll get a huge kick out of all the great videos that you'll find at this site: cchronicles.com - The Computer Chronicles. Which was on PBS and a few other networks I believe. The same content can be found at archive.org & other sites, but this site has all of the shows in one convenient place.

If you're into old computers, old such as PCs that had only 12 or 20 gig HDs, 64 megs of RAM etc., (hell, back then if you had a PC with all that, you were the big dog on the block LOL), then you are going to love watching these videos for a trip back to the past when tech was in the middle ages compared to today! I'll post more sites like these as I find them. Enjoy!

Here's one of the videos from cchronicles.com:
A look at new email systems in 1985, comparative advantages and pitfalls and new email accessories and tools.
