Tandy Assembly 2018 - Stewart Cheifet - Keynote Speaker

Stewart discusses his early experiences with Tandy Radio Shack computers, his time as host of the Computer Chronicles television show, and will give an update on what he's done since the show.

Such a great nice man. Truly helped change the world with computers and what they can do.

[@floppydays]

I was lucky enough to interview Stewart for the Floppy Days Podcast and he was kind enough to agree come to Tandy Assembly on his own dime. Terrific guy and I'm honored to have met him.

[@thomasg86]

I could listen to Stewart tell old stories for hours. Thank you!

i grew up in the 80s and my dad used to bring home VHS recordings of Stewart's show Computer Chronicals for me to watch. I love it and am so happy to have rediscovered the vids on KZbin (despite Stewart hating this...) sorry Stewart! A truly cool dude with great history. loved the bit about the Apple 1984 Superbowl ad-never heard that version of the story anywhere else...

[@maynnemillares]

He literally the computer historian of his time who documented the personal computer history since day 1.

Fantastic content! Let's work on improving the audio capture. Perhaps we could do a option for TA that includes a DVD & Blu-Ray download password - or some incentive to provide funds that could go to audio/video recording fund - that would reward the donors/patreons of such content.

Such a nice man...a living legend, Stewart Cheifet.

[@danielt.8573]

Stewart needs to come back to TV.

[@Nocturnal11Guy]

Thanks for the up load!

[@RicardoBanffy]

Imagine how fun would the blooper reel be... Printer catching fire, Gary being shot in the groin by a ping-pong playing robot, dolls talking to each other...

[@WiseGuy02]

Wow he's really held onto that comb-over with both hands.

[@yellowblanka6058]

I'm sure he has to if he goes out on a windy day without a hat.

[@walnuthills11]

Yup, the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine. Definitely still up!

Stewart was the gold standard of computer journalism. Today we’re left to contend with sophomoric millennial bloggers who think they’re comedians and doofuses like Leo Laporte.

[@gamingforhumanity6659]

The problem is we allow those millennials to have the technology to make them more powerful than people like Stewart.

[@earthwolf82]

leo is not a millennial

[@Nocturnal11Guy]

I like Leo!

13:00 Steve Jobs, hm, let me think, how i could better spend that money, i know, Superbawl commercial.. this way Steward created famous IBM/84 commercial trying to convince Jobs sponsor Computer Chronicles

41:40 Do you not research before you upgrade? I never liked Stewart Cheifet, his axe grinding confirmed the type of person he is.

[@prezadent1]

sounds like you're the same type of person with the same type of axe

[@gamingforhumanity6659]

If you don't like Stuart you can go f yourself or catch a faze

"I never liked Stewart" says the guy commenting 41 minutes in.

[@zachbarber3211]

Stewart is great, what's your problem with him? Jobs was objectively a huge dick and basically everyone that knew him agreed.
