I've read so many books about this history. Wonderful to hear from Ron himself and to gain some real insight. Thanks VCF and Dan Kottke.

This poor woman, forced to deal with that clueless CEO at Art

I won’t lie, I’ve listened to Rebecca Heinemann in the background while either playing a game or working. Honestly anything about game development helps me concentrate

Great to relive the restoration story with the team. Thanks for recording the event!

Just goes to show what a great job the Apple (and ex-Zerox) engineers did to make this a commercial product. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

can you share some ebooks bro? about crt servicing and other electronic topics

Is there a way to find out when he is speaking next and show up to the conference?

I love how dry his sense of humor is, the jokes going over the crowd's head just makes it funnier.

so cool

Great presentation. And what a curbside find! Congrats!

Graphics on the Apple II makes me glad I went with Commodore. 😁

You know thing got serious when the speaker uses a ThinkPad :D

So basically, it offered an ergonomic level similar to today's macOS. :D

Mark and his team are simply *FANTASTIC* in ingenuity and intelligence. Following the AGC series, several times i felt a sliver in my spine. Too sorry that Mike wasn't there. I would like to know, from him as a youngster, his opinion about th AGC Computer structure. Also I haven't seen any follow-up from the screen printed phenomenally reconstructed AGC display from Ben Krasnow. Thanks anyway for all your efforts.

I wish the opening presenter said less, and Marc said more.

Thanks so much for the memories! Our computer lab at Mohawk College had a PDP8e. I had the bootloader memorized by the end of the course. Our assignments were all in assembly using PAL8. I’m happy that I got to experience this vintage machine back in the 70’s…

Very interesting video. Congratulations.

I can't believe how laid-back Ken Thompson is in this talk. He’s got some incredible stories and truly is a living legend. Listening to the creator of UNIX makes me feel like anything is possible. I enjoyed this relaxed chat with a genius who's both self-effacing and humble.

Yes, Master Ken. TCL represent!

It's a shame no one asked if Doom would run on the AGC.

Wow she is impressive

Scott is a LEGEND , there is so much he has done for the videogame industry, he really rocks.

Thank you VCF for keeping this history alive.

Amazing! I love this machine! Thank you for showing how it Works!!

Those guys are awesome!!!!!

I have 4 amiga500s and 3 c64c commodores....love my retro commodore computers.x

These guys are my heroes, idols, etc!

Very interesting and the video is well done, allowing the projection to be viewed at all times rather than zooming in to the speaker as is too often done. The only suggestion would be to put any links shown on the slides into the video notes.

One thumbs up is not enough.

Very informative and so many people unaware of this very important site and achievements.

BE DIRECT BE DELL (Sorry for shouting)

Is Usagi Electric not trying the get the BENDIX Vacuum tube computer working or what.

loved Dragons Den

Love Frank's book... been watching these guys for a long time... amazing work.

So impressive!

I remember playing with this game around 50 years ago. Didn't get to land and order the cheeseburgers and Big Mac but did manage to crash into the only McDonald's on the moon!!!

Fascinating

Excellent talk.

I watched all of curiousmarcs videos and some of the talks they gave over the years. It feels like I already know the story but every time I learn something new.

I was writing my own fastsavers back in the day and there's still new stuff I've learned from this presentation, absolutely awesome.

That was awesome!

Mike needs his own interview, but he has since transcended verbal language, been sucked into a black hole, and is undergoing a few upgrades before returning in a different form.

As a 35-year RF and electronics engineer, and someone who studied the Apollo Unified S-Band system in college, I lam amazed at what this team has accomplished. I've seen every one of CuriousMarc's videos on this, and read AGC code. Love it.

I learned Fortran on the 1130 while a work study student for Academic Computer at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens point. I was responsible for it's operation during my shift in the computer lab. Taught students how to use the key punch machines and how to submit their programs to the 1130. Later worked on adapting forestry and hydrology computer models to run on the 1130. This was the start to my 40 + year IT career.

These guys are amazing!

That's my dad, he had some great zingers. 3:16

Great presentation! NABU seems a lot like MSX.

still have a working 128d

I am a Gen Z, but I have been fascinated by computer history, I even tried to create SAP-1 using Verilog in FPGA, and now I want to try to make 6502 using Verilog.
