Chris Pirillo's First Cable Television Appearance (1997)

[IWEBProductions]

hmm, 1997 I was 7 so I guess Chris was probably in his late teens? Or is he really that old? Anyway at 7 we still had MS-DOS.

[thesnare100]

@IWEBProductions No, he was either 24, or 23, (depending on if it was after his birthday or not) he's 38 or 37 now

[cokecl]

You made Xara 3D!!!! Wow! I loved that, it was the first and only program that I "cracked" :D

[Bray90820]

All of you are thinking $40 is a lot to spend on spinning text but think about the time and the technology back then doom was the crysis of the day and it cost about $60 to buy and now you can get it for like $2.99 on the iphone app store

[MultiCGU]

Its amazing what 40 dollars will get you now.

[romodrummerjz]

FAT CHRIS!

[zombieddie73]

Did Chris make a deal with the Devil to not age? Because he looks exactly the frikin same now as he did back then!

[ynkno13]

[speckyprick]

Chris is totally a guy that doesn't age. I thought he was currently abt 22, but he's in his 30's. What the fuck.

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

he bannned me from his retarded chat thingy for telling someone to lick their mom's cunt. What a cunt!

[TheSpinWorld]

win 95, NT lol

[MrPolskadupa]

Sorry trish

[MrPolskadupa]

Hello chris my name is Ryan and I believe you used to interview my mom trash McDermott

[ellendegeneresinamin]

Will Forte!

[zfjquery]

at that time getting domain name of your choice wd had been easy but why the hell you choose lockergnome , I wd hav choosen facebook , google, yahoo or even youtube.

[coolfreak1mannan]

wow, windows 97, its gonna be the best one, who gonna upgrade

lol

[nyyfan2k]

I find it ironic how his tips to starting out a newsletter are the same tips he has given to start out on youtube. Amazing how updating people with a newsletter just every 2 weeks has turned into being updated by the second, by twitter or similar outlets.

[TheMatt7000]

Wow back then you paid $40 to make some spinning 3d text! LMAO today you can make an entire 3d movie with free software! thanks for posting Chris nice to see :)

[pfpdoodlez2009]

[coryallen053]

[slaterking1000]

@Virtualskycap i know, but he got 100k sub on his youtube channel as well. And his newsletter in 97.

[MegaRAMHarddisk]

i was 2 back then

[fokaikid87]

The set must have been real high tech back in the day! Thats so crazy to see how technology has changed so much! Cool Vid Chris!

[EdGauthier1]

[slaterking1000]

[saxman112]

I was 4 back in '97. I was born in '93, so that means I'm 17 now.

[adamgothe]

3d text is so 20th century, lol.

[Insistente]

I was 17 back then :P

[Testingpointer1]

Amen!!!

[richardge212]

[MapleSkip]

[techtubecentral]

@TwighlightMist yeah well i was one top that

[supercooled]

This guy looks like he should be peddling a Christian newsletter rather than a tech one. Just saying.

Chris does look very young in this.

[xxxhendrixjoe555xxx]

@supercooled agreed.

[johntkucz]

@supercooled chris is 11 years older than me but thought he was much younger, he seems to always look young. WHAT YEAR WAS THIS.

[richmeister4eva]

i was 8 lmao

[WakkoXtreme]

I was like 17. hmmm that dude chris is like 40 now

[TrueOptimist]

@WakkoXtreme 35 as far as I know

[WakkoXtreme]

so , you is saying that chris was like 22 when he did these here thing ?

[TrueOptimist]

No, I "IS" saying that he was 24 at the time of this video. He was born in 1973. This video was shot in 1997. So, 1997-1973=24. Simple math.

[WakkoXtreme]

ok! he´s old

[xialong123]

haha 40 year old virgin, the real deal. x]

[Graphicspittz187]

HAHAHA i was 17

[Zerorebels]

[aaronp01]

lol wtf how can you even get to this page then?

[bobby1829387]

I was watching the video on a nother computer while commenting that :P

[BeatlesFan32]

I use DOS when I'm bored and feel like coding in Qbasic :P

[Zerorebels]

lol yea DOS is fun too bad no one selfs/gives them out anymore.

[Webcam9000]

lol! Software Junkie!

[AppleWireMedia]

like 5 years from now windows 7 and vista will be poopy like 98 and 95 are :P

[braddudeguy]

Windows Vista is "poopy" now.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

How doesn't the CRT have a refresh rate on this video recorded by a camera?

[radicalgarbage02]

The CRT will only cause horizontal scrolling bars in a video if the refresh rates aren't synced up. They probably just set it to the frame rate of the camera.

[saxman112]

I got my first computer in 1995! Aka when Windows '95 was popular!

[socialmedianinja]

I watched this back in Denmark, Europe, I bet you didn't even know how famous you were abroad, we had a local computer club and we used to gather twice a week and often there would be segments of Pirillo on a screen in our club house, Lockergnome was the "New Hope" for geeks in schools all over the world.

[ixceix]

that's a nifty denim shirt you got there. :)

[OSBDxNERDFIGHTER]

40 bucks for that piece of @&$%???

wow times have changed!!!

[Technoguy3]

You can do that with freeware now. Woot for technology making things easy!!

[Zerorebels]

easy is whats gonna destroy the world.

[INDImind]

The good old days indeed. My 1st PC was a XT 8088, 8MHz, Monochrome with only 5.25" floppy disk and 640K RAM way back in 1988. was stuck with PC's ever since. Sure wish I had Internet in 1997. Well done Chris and sheers to Lockergnome!!

[xxrt098]

[diuleil]

[igetby1125]

[andymate2006]

I was still in Primary school in 1997. I got my first computer in1996. Looking at this takes me back at the technology back then. Oh the good ol' days.

[Imapcaddict]
