Here?s a fantastic blast from the past. Back in the
early 80s, there was a show called Computer
Chronicles that was sort of a televised proto-
podcast about the world of personal computing. In
this episode from back in 1985, the Computer
Chronicles put the vintage Apple Macintosh ?
released just a year before ? through its paces,
including a talk with Larry Tesler, a legendary
engineer who was part of the Xerox PARC team,
Palo Alto?s famous R&D center that gave Steve
Jobs the idea for the Macintosh GUI and the
venerable computer mouse.
Sadly, we can?t get the video to embed, so if this
piques your interest and for more information on
the show, be sure to check out this article on
Wired for the whole thing. It?s a great way to wile
away the morning on this Good Friday. |
