18:44 Sadly still true

Database Software Q&A....made HuGE money with that guy....wow....still have some in the bank.

¿Quien mas haciendo un trifolio, de la tarea 😅?

"Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy..." Oh sorry, wrong movie.

Good, precise instruction 🤩

"assembled in Taiwan". Still hasn't changed!

Lines aren’t trivial indeed. But 2 months to create parallel lines?! Sounds a bit much. You need to subtract the offset on the X where both X and Y increase in relation to the previous line’s point. And you will need to add offset to C when X is decreasing and Y is increasing. So it is basically Pythagorean algebra distance = (A’ + B’ + C) / sqrt(A^2 * B^2) You know A and B and C and the distance you want the line to be. So it seems rather trivial to my understanding- but I sucked at math. So perhaps I’m overlooking something. But 2 months still sounds a lot.

A friend came round with this game - we loaded it onto my BBC micro. Jaw-dropping stuff. Even years later, I can still remember the feeling. I never made it to Elite but I had a lot of fun trying!

I have a THEC64 Maxi and I love it. It's like being a kid again!

🎵Are you keeping up with the Commodore? 'Cos the Commodore's keeping up with you!🎵

Tremendo

I had to get my twin to get past the ID lock on the game to start it !!

Nice remix!

Hooray! As a microcomputer fan and lover, as well as keyboard specialist, this show was made right up my niche just for me!🖥💻

4:55 - Ave Omnissiah!

Pong was a video game "system". Not software.

Most ads are hyperbole but I actually would prefer a C64 to those other machines.

and now i have them all

fantástico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commodore literally roasting every other computer 💀💀

20:01 Good old times, when Karens were all right.

I want to watch more of The Computer Programme. Watching people use computers is as interesting as I use one like a keyboard specialist.

Ron Diamond 🤘

rip Gary Kildall // All respect to him / Thanks for sharing!

4:00 no le an dicho como funcionaba la maquina? 20:00 no encuentro las fechas 30:00 1980 32:00 1985 el juego de mario el comienzo enseña las mecanicas no? 36:00 miyamoto fue rico?

Hmmm.... una historia replicada en mi.....😮 ....remember Ardu ino....😮......

I'd only been working for a couple of years, but one of my early purchases was a BBC Bc Micro. I remember when Elite came out; it just jumped out at you from the shelf. I vought a copy during my lunch hour, and sneaked off to open it. It was enthralling. Folks today have no idea just how breathtaking the 3D wireframe graphics were - it was a huge leap over anything else. As was the gameplay, which by modern standards is very limitted, but at the time was incredibly immersive. I worke din a college, so we had rooms full of BBC B's. And pretty soon, those rooms were packed with peopel playing Elite! I got to Elite - it gave you a code you sent off. I still have the congratulatory letter from Acornsoft (though I did not qualify to enter into the competition they ran) and the enamel badge. Then I got a floppy dirve - from Watford Electronics I think - and got the disc cersin...and up came INCOMING MESSAGE - they'd managed to pack actual missions into the game as well! It was an amazing achievement.

6:20 Bob Hoskins narrating the commercial.

In part due to this, the Uk quickly became oen of the most computer owner and literate places in the world. And we threw it all away.

I helped to build a network for BBC Micros in 1984. I was 16, and the installation was for secretarial training. At that time, I was a 1st year engineering apprentice in the training school, and knew more about computers than any of the computer trainers!

regular computer english :D

nada mas hermoso en el mundo mientras se ve este documental con una cerveza !!!

2024 I'm watching this on my Android phone which of course is a computer.

I came here for Phyllis RIP

❤ Phyllis

it is 2024 and i still use my commodore 64c..

In this year 2024, I continue to watch "The Computer Chronicles," which is a favorite show, I have enjoyed the way Gary Kildall hosted it. Perhaps I never met the [gentleman], I truly regret that Gary Kildall died. All the fine people are gone! Now I appreciate your channel as the best. I am also a fan of the microcomputer, as well as a keyboard specialist and an avid typist who uses one almost all the time.

Solo hay un documental en condiciones y hecho por una persona no un medio, la guerra de consolas de Heidern73, el resto a su lado son insultos.

The good old days when you always used a dust cover for your precious computer rather than treating it like a disposable piece of office furniture or some garbage that just cradles your GPU, the only rhing worth Real Money

Wonderful times.

That was a magical moment for the fellow anchorman, thanks for sharing.

Thank goodness he has a beard or I’d never be able to take him seriously as a computer programmer.

$800 was a cheap low-end computer? Even today that would be expensive. Then when you factor in $800 in 1985 is the equivalent of over $2,000 in our money. Imagine spending over 2 grand for a low-end computer. Wow.

Love his delivery! The clarity and pacing are superb. Only criticism is that he pronounces "wh" like an American (e.g. as in "white") by including the "h" sound 😂. On the other hand, maybe us Brits did that forty years ago, i can't remember!

At least the telegraph gave you a reason for a cancellation. The railways just remark cancelled due to staff shortages, maybe they've been attacked by Red Indians!

I've written a game that has a side view of a football pitch, so it is a trapezium shape. How can I 'colour in' the pitch?

cool documentary but like... why didnt they show some of the code? like.... wtf
