I was a gamer and in the gaming industry when this programme was aired, required watching! You have to realise that back then your home PC was as much about utilities and non-gaming programs as it was about rushing out to get the latest Microprose simulation!

[Daghead]

that is an epic car.

[N64Guy]

[MrVenebi]

The prices are out of control! ;)

[poaeypark]

[FaerieDust]

Hm, with portables like that, the computer nerds of the 80's must've been pretty buff xP

[koolkitty8989]

What game is that Mega ST running? at 1:40

[WhoMelissa]

Awww, man, I wanted a talking Julie doll when I was a kid, and it was too darn expensive. I never got one, but I think I would get one nowadays just for the collectible value.

[XmasFLIX]

@WhoMelissa can you imagine giving one to a kid today? They would hit you with it!

[rondotwoKG]

People forget how far tech has come.

Just think how people will see us in 20 years.

[natesvlogs]

6lbs? $800? portable? no, no, no

[Puck2010]

Is that Gary Kildall the software pioneer of CP/M fame? Bill Gates produced a variant of CP/M, which eventually became MS-DOS.

[XmasFLIX]

Yes! Scariness.

[bewareofcabbage]

@Puck2010 Apparently he is indeed of CP/M fame.

[joecassara]

Yes, that's THE Gary Kildall. He co-hosted Computer Chronicles with Stuart for a while.

Microsoft bought QDOS, which was a somewhat unauthorized varient of CP/M for the 8086 processor.

[jkadoodle]

He became a heavy drinker and died after a fall in a biker bar

[SeijiMutoEX]

I was probably playing space quest about this time! ^^

Nice memories!

[XmasFLIX]

omg. space quest. the fact that I remember any of this is enough to end it all.

[mindya12]

[XmasFLIX]

The laptop is the funniest. Can you imagine lugging that box of bricks around?!
