I'm honestly surprised our family didn't own one of these. We were _always_ on the wrong side of history. We had a Betamax, and when they stopped releasing movies for it, we switched to Laserdisc. My father had an 8-track player both in our home and in his car, and when they stopped releasing albums for it, he bought a reel-to-reel, convinced it was the next big thing. All my friends had an Atari 2600, while we had an Intellivision. And when I asked for a home computer, I got a Coleco Adam.

Laserdisc was the best format for home cinema, at least until DVD came out, and even that's debatable. Getting that was a great idea! You get the best image quality available during the 80s and 90s, the Laserdisc versions were often uncensored, and often had great extra features you certainly wouldn't get on video tape. Fuck VHS, it's garbage in every way. It's only advantage is it got nearly every release. But Laserdisc usually did too, even if it might take a while. I'm saying that and I never owned a Laserdisc player, I just know my technology! Intellivision (BAY FIFTY-TWO BAAWMEEERR!) hardware was well advanced of the 2600s. The 2600 was particularly shit, the hardware designed for Pong and Combat. It got... versions... of other games for a few years but they were really squeezed in there, and it showed. They looked fucking AWFUL and gameplay was usually very limited. Also the Colecovision had hardware not far away from arcade machines of the time. Again I had none of these machines. Like most Europeans I had home computers instead, and spent time playing games designed for computers, rather than endless arcade conversions and ripoffs like the American consoles got. The Coleco Adam yep I'll give you. It had the techology I mentioned, similar to arcade hardware of the time of the Colecovision, but that was years previous. By the time of the Adam it was lacking. Also the dual inbuilt tape drives were bizarre and pointless, and built-in meant you lost your whole computer when they went wrong. Rather than other computers that had separate external tape drives. Indeed the ZX Spectrum, and many other British computers, used a tape player you would supply yourself, any tape player would do. Much easier and more flexible, cheaper too. Even if you bought a tape player just for it, you could use that to listen to music later, me and my sisters did. So yeah you get a few points for the Adam. Which also weirdly came with a built-in printer. Which the power supply for the whole machine was built into! So you couldn't do without it! And printers are expensive, which made the whole thing more expensive! Yep a stupid machine. But I'd have liked them if they eventually crashed the prices on them. Not living in the USA, and not being an adult at that time, I didn't have the opportunity. Missing out on the 2600 and VHS though? You missed a bullet!

I did grit my teeth and buy the unit, and cleaned it very thoroughly when it arrived. Now mine was listed as a piece of office equipment, and included a plastic cover with white piping that made it look very 70's office chic. It included some blank pages.

I've seen a couple of those machines, but never knew what they were. Had I been born a couple years later, I might have had the chance to use one, but at age 7 in '74, I was already reading at a higher level than the material that was presented in this presentation. As a result, the teacher had us reading short stories, and not just learning words. However, in high school (I think tenth grade) on the last day of the year, we were digging around the for some distraction from the bordom of nothing to do when one of the guys found a portable open reel tape deck. The teacher wasn't sure if it still worked as he hadn't used it in fifteen years, but set it up, anyway. It did work, and we all took turns recording with it, and playing it back. It just goes to show that when students start digging around, they will find old equipment, and try it out.

The thing that really makes me sad is that this is tech from the 70's; (which was considered niche at the time) that one can infer still hadn't been completely phased out of the curriculum by the mid 90's. And this was well before shit like "No Child Left Behind" was enacted.

The school lessons sound so eerie I love them

The sound is really good, very impressive! Quality contents, thanks.

I lost it at your pronunciation of "Jewl." That was great.

+Techmoan Let me start by saying you will never run out of "classic" items for your videos. What is "state of the art" today, is obsolete tomorrow. I want you also say I enjoy your videos. They're nostalgic and I love seeing the "classic" technology. Keep producing these great videos. Thank you.

Love these type of old technology! Keep it up

So, as a professional window cleaner and found sound collager, this is gold. Maybe pyrite.

Never ceases to amaze me this chanell. Great stuff ☺

Interesting! Also, I almost spat my beer all over my laptop when you did the music compilation voiceover part haha! Keep up the good work mate!

I love Alians Morseet. Her album 'Jagid lottle peel' was fantastic

This channel never lets me down

Fascinating! I would never have believed it had I not seen it... Thanks for the great and unusual video

Alians Morseet was my favourite back in the day. Sounds like a character from Star Wars.

I'm impressed with the durability of the recordings, I've got cassette tapes from the early 2000s that didn't hold up as well!

I love these videos, I grew up around an old tv repair shop that was choc full of strange old tech. Loved exploring it as a kid, love watching your videos as an adult. Thank you Techmoan.

I’m amazed that you can make such fascinating videos about technology that isn’t just a sponsored review!

Mat, you sir need a peak viewing slot on BBC2 every week. Your vids are better than 99% of other factual programmes on mainstream TV. Bet they've approached you already!?

It's incredible that this runs with the original capacitors and that the white plastic hasn't yellowed like on a Commodore VIC-20 or other plastic devices from that era.

I was able to skip several grades. My parents swore by it. OH! My Goodness thank you very much. Several of my friends thought I was lying until I found your channel and of course I share your channel to my FB and Twitter accounts. My sister had Show and Tell.

That was surprisingly trippy. Great work sir.

That teachers voice is creepy, along with the use of heavy reverb. I'm surprised they were still being used into the mid 90's, but then again that's Oklahoma schools.

This is legitimately really cool. I could see this being a huge hit in a lot of places and a lot of situations.

I'd love a full rip of the home recorded stuff, just as an archive of almost lost media. Seems neat to preserve something no one ever thought would be heard again.
