Gran video, te sugiero que mires la historia de Richard Garriot y origin. Todos los grandes personajes de la historia del videojuego como el Roberts Williams, Will Wright, y mucjos más trabajaron con él. De hecho los JRPG nacieron como una copia a Ultima ( que llegó a Japón gracias a la misma empresa que llevo tetris a Japón )

If it was using relays, it was an electromechanical calculator

Compared to original edition, subtitles currently are much, much worse.

VERY INTERESTING! Reminds me of TODAY! The AI Chip wars begun, they have.

Thanks for comeback

I hope nobody else uses books and stories from the 20th century as sources for the Gary Kildall story. It's really sad to see that old narrative about the plane flight repeated here in 2024. There are better sources with more of the story and context now, that make it more clear he wasn't incompetent, arrogant or flippant about the IBM opportunity.

Love that your using other tech youtubers for character voiceovers. Clever.

Thank you for uploading! Love your content. Please don't make us wait another year! Lol

I’m so glad you’re back! I like this video, and I like the originals as well! Just glad to have you here making content!

I prefer to original video voices.

7:42 Is it normal I do'nt see any video with that thumbnail in your video collection?

I know you're trying to be respectful to Mrs. Wilson; but this early on, she hadn't transitioned yet, so I'd argue that using her pre-transition ("dead") name would be acceptable in this context.

Lol i had a virtual boy and other than the game i got with it i don't think i ever saw another game for sale. I'm pretty sure it was a wario game but i can't really recall. The SNES really got my all attention but the virtual boy was pretty cool too.

10:00 Mechanical clocks use an escapement to keep track of time. The spring is just the power source.

Been a while since I learned anything from one of these tech history videos. Too many focus on the MS/IBM deal. Somehow missed (or forgot) how important Compaq's role was. Had no idea about IBM using off the shelf components, nor how critical the bus was. Always knew that OS2 was their failed response to the threat of MS-DOS, but missed the core hardware difference.

A lot of Japanese companies Anglicized their names because they had a (not entirely earned) reputation for producing garbage, not to mention a lingering stigma because of WWII.

3:06 I don't think American soldiers were wearing camo in 1949.

I want next part of this story

Please make videos about AMD, ATI and Linux

Btw it's Low loooooo no E I mean they even say it correctly once in your vid dude lol 😂 nice

The PC Personal Computer wasn't invented by IBM; back in the mid-late 70s companies like Apple and hobbyists did it before IBM. Late on in the early 80s companies like IBM and Commodore got into the PC market to cash into it.

wait 6 videos at the same time

Really? No mention of the Casio watch calculator? lol

Small time Casio collector here. I bought my first calculator fx-68 in 1979 (still have it). Bought my last calculator SL-880 three months ago. Still use a Casio calculator at work.

Criminally underrated channel

Cooying a rom bios has been proven in court. Apple vs Franklin

IBM didn't consider the IBM PC as something worth protecting because it was a product they were making so that their salesteam could offer mainframes and PCs. Nobody else could do that.

Bill went to IBM and told them about 86 dos and said that IBM should license it. But they said, no you license it and modify it to our specifications.

I support the turning of Ken and Roberta into an anime husbando and waifu. :V

Can you cover any history about sega, id love to hear a behind the scenes lesson on the failure of the master system and the rise of the genesis, the nes' true competitor

yar i was on diet and u show me pizza in edit ,come on what is wrong with u people.

IBM didn't really invent anything. They just assembled a standard kit of parts and used their market power to get it accepted. The thing that was different from other suppliers is they had the market power to establish a standard. The design of the original PC was actually quite poor and underpowered.

For anyone interested, there is a 5 part documentary on the history and development of transistors and calculators in japan. Just search it on youtube you should easily find it.

Hard to understand without captions.

Olivetti (that we'll see at the end of the vide as a member of the ISA consortium) had been so many times incredibly close to, yet incredibly distant from, seriously competing with IBM: In 1982 they released the M20, quite close to what a Z8000 powered PC would have been like. Actinometry made a nice video about the early history of Olivetti computers in the 60s and 70s; sure, the last attempt at competing in the 80s and 90s are a sadder story, but may be worth telling.

I still prefer my Casio watch to those bloody smart watches!

5:055:04 though the video refers to relay calculators these are vacuum tubes and those were what were used before transistors. Relays are mechanical, vacuum tubes are electrical. My knowledge is obsolete and oh god so am i lol

ProudProud Veteran of the Red LED versus Gray LCD wars. Calculators interestingly had a shocking price reduction they were around 50 dollars in present money ending at around 5 by the mid 80s.

If any people saw this and found it interesting then watch the AMC show _Halt and Catch Fire_ which is a fictional composite retelling of the Gateway and Compaq stories just with pretty Hollywood people instead of actual nerdy, realistic looking programmer dudes. It is still a pretty good show.

watching this video in an M1 laptop

All the talk about an extended 32-bit bus that would be backwards compatible with ISA, and I was surprised to see it was EISA with no mention of VLB or how PCI eventually won. Maybe that's a bonus video to make, if you haven't already. I probably could learn all about it on Wikipedia but I like your video style.

Was starting to wonder where you were. Good to see you back!

It could be argued that the ultimate realization of Gunpei Yokoi's design philosophy ("lateral thinking of withered technology" as he called it) is the Nintendo Switch. They bought a failed but viable platform from Nvidia for pennies on the dollar, bolstered it with a library of slightly enhanced ports from another failed platform, leveraged slight technological advances to realize the vision of modularity and portability that was not yet feasible in the era when Wii U was designed, secured their position in the handheld market (especially critical in Japan) by establishing a distinct blue ocean strategy offering that doesn't compete with iOS/Android, all while saving their position in the console market. Add some luck from the heavens and all these failures, orchestrated together, created such a knockout success. It's just brilliant, from a technological perspective, from a business perspective, from a branding perspective. You can tell Gunpei really inspired the generations who followed in his steps.

Sierra games defined so much of what was gaming for me growing up. Police Quest Kings Quest Space Quest Leisure Suit Larry (despite being far too young to get a lot of the jokes… not sure how I convinced my parents playing those games was OK) Thanks for the story of the business behind all those memories!

IBM developed the IBM-PC. The Personal Computer was invented more than a decade earlier. Either the Kenbak-1 from 1971 and the Q1 from 1972 are considered the first PCs in history.

The Genesis!

Rate my setup a 2008 gaming pc with a 2011 processor (xeon 3.6gh) 16 gbs of ddr3 ram and a 2017 graphics card (radion rx 580 8 gb)

Is that Abigail Thorn voicing Sophie Wilson?!?

I have to poop 🙁

When I was a kid, we used to type 55378008 into our calculators and turn it upside down.
