How Computers Work - Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer

I almost forgot how the things were like in those days.
I started using Sun workstation in 1990, and it had SPARC processor running like at 30MHz or so. Before that, I used PC with 286 and a separate floppy drive for 12 inch floppy !!
And all I could access on internet was Newsgroup, but good thing was we didn't have to deal with internet trolls.

this is 1990! now we have hp touchsmarts and macbook pros

Do you have to get the trackball registered as a weapon nowadays? That thing looks like a murderous cudgel that is designed by Apple.

@11:28, holy moley, look at the size of that... what'd he call the hard drive? a hummer? i've never once heard that.

We are only just seeing how micro-processing technology has helped end the world. Its so unhuman, it seperates us, it makes all jobs the same, it turns people into cabbages.

thank you for your opinion. I'm sure I'd never have read it without whatever it is you're trashing.

Wow, I have been looking for this since seeing it years ago in elementary school. Thanks for the upload!

Trackball lol.... it didn't quite catch on did it!
