About the Atari 800 commercial, REMEMBER I said "AVERAGE" LOADING TIME WAS AN HOUR!. And the loading time was an HOUR becouse it ran at the normal speed of an AVERAGE CASSATTE TAPE which was very SLOW. Also becouse COMPUTER MEMORY at the time was at a PREMIUM, the computer had to SLOWLY read and load the tape at the SAME TIME, which look a LONG TIME. Also with those EARLY TAPE DRIVES (like the one shown IN this video), the COMPUTER would not have LOADED the PROGRAM that fast, which that much memory, the AVERAGE LOADING SPEED WAS 1K PER/SECOND!!!, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER THE DAY'S OF COMPUTER TAPE DRIVES VERY WELL, AND KNOW EXACTILAY HOW LONG IT TOOK TO LOAD, EVEN I HAVE SEEN AN ACTUATL WORKING ONE IN ACTION AND IT LOOK 1 HOUR 30 MINS TO LOAD!!!. ALSO YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HAVING A PROGRAM ON A TAPE IS A LOUSY WAY TO STORE INFO, SO MOST PROGRAMS ON TAPE DID NOT HAVE VERY MUCH MEMORY!!!...THANK YOU!!!

More "Bits & Bytes" please! I loved that show! I used to record it to cassette tape because we didn't have a VCR! lol.

Post the whole dang show! :-)

Can you put up the opening theme song to Bits & Bytes? It's been bouncing around in my head for 23 years. :-)

Thanks!

I only have one episode of Bits & Bytes. I might upload more clips from it. It's kind of boring but has historical significance. Billy learns about ROM & RAM, tries out the TRS-80, and types in a BASIC program into a Commodore PET.

hey, got anymore of the bits and bytes videos? love watching how things used to be bak then lol
