So when was this out and what channel would it be on butr wait PBS might ring a bell since no zdtv was out.

It aired from 1983 - 2002. Archive.org has a ton of episodes.

@johnnycagetheboss lol I was being serious it looks like its at least from the 60's not because of the computer just by how everyone looks and how shitty the camera is

[johnnycagetheboss]

@PsiloCybinDreamX I know you weren't being literal, but in no way does this look as old as you think, I mean, I can remember T.V. looking pretty shitty.

i cant believe i was born in 1986, this looks like its from 1930

At around 2:13 they're talking about Patent infringement issues. Problem then, problem now. The tech patent problem is ridiculous and really stymies innovation.

Thanks, seriously to the people who post these vids on YouTube. It's great to see human ingenuity, and market forces accelerating computer technology. To see CEO's in '86 talk about using CDROM's, and email, and the future advances for them is great. I just hope they find a way to send text over a multi-media platform one day. :D (referenced from the talking email vid). Thanks again, I love these.
