The reality is that in retrospect, despite RISC’s obvious advantages, the x86 CICS architecture continued to dominate personal computing in the decades since 1986. It was not until Apple introduced its own silicon in the early 2020s and the emergence of the Qualcomm Snapdargon X chips alongside a renewed commitment from Microsoft to invest in Arm architecture compatibility in the middle of the 2020s that RISC finally gained the potential to make major inroads into the personal computing market (after having dominated the mobile wireless device market for a generation). This really shows how powerful inertia can be, even in the fast-paced world of technology.
lol they all looked and sounded so bored 😴
I want a car mouse
No Paul Schindler? Trash episode.
Man just casually says I got an email from Steve Jobs
386 was when pcs got actually fun
So then the hookerbot says, "That's not my expansion slot" and my friend says, "That's not my gold-plated 25-pin connector!
0:57 "the hottest new cellphone"
arpa..... did they spy?
"Commodore 64, a little 8-bit machine that refuses to die", even today in 2024 I'm still playing new games with a C64 C, 1541 diskdrive and a 1702 monitor. What a great program The Computer Chronicles to watch, lot of great memories. Thanks to all behind this project to keep it alive.
was it released yet for sale? still waiting.
what a computer?
10:07 Is it just me or does this woman sound exactly like Ellen Degeneres?
lol I played math blaster when I was a kid 7:54
Steve Jobs was always a thief. Microsoft licensed Xerox user interface. Apple did not; they stole it.
En 1985 computadoras personales como la IBM PS/2 tenian un capacidad de almacenamiento de disco duro de 10 MB. Ese mismo año salian al mercado los CD-ROM con 650 mb de capacidad de almacenamiento, pero no es hasta los primeros años de la decada de los 1990s que los CD-ROM se convierten en el estandard de la industria de los PCs y los discos duros pasan a almacenar Gbytes de memoria
lol someone has submitted SponsorBlock segments for the in-program adverts xD I think missing the point there slightly, but still appreciate it.
C. C Play. C Play View. View, Play, View!
I worked for Bellcore from 1987 to 2004 and remember SuperBook. I also had an account on the WELL.
So it turns out Edwin Black wasn't the best at making predictions.
D'vorak just breaking a machine.... Would love to go back and talk to these guys.
RIP Kelly Flock 12:03
Imagine being Gary and having to always talk about Microsoft products on a show like this, I feel bad for him
OMG, I've spent my whole childhood playing F-19 and F-15
And at 9:35, I walk in and lay a Samsung smartphone on that table in front of them. Their expression on their faces is like, what is that. Me, oh it's a smartphone, take a look, it surfs the Internet, KZread and Facebook, check the weather, take photos, or record videos. Then they say, what's KZread and Facebook? I'm like you'll find out in a few more years. 😂 Oh and one more thing you don't need that pen thingy to touch the screen. You just use your fingers to interact with the screen. They're like, Woe, that's cool. 😂
If only there were more Computer Bowl's :(
As we get into artificial intelligence... In 1989. AGI was always just over the horizon. AI in the 80s was "It looks like you're writing a letter,,,," Maybe now it is a bit more real... Luv and Peace.
Wow - News did not fly. Postscript did well.
Didn't Shane Lewis or Rerez make a video about Morphman? I'm pretty sure they did, as part of their It's Just Bad series.
Where do I get the Apple denim jacket from 8:20
wow elon musk invented these
I am finding incredible that an lawyer graduated is saying at end of this video: 'Computer Chronicles I am managing'...for an past Gary Kildall life. He never started TV production alone. I am finding incredible 'DOS' was in fact 'CP/M' system but I am believing we are making an distinction between 'MS DOS' and 'DOS'. Then Mister 'Bill Gates' should be afraid one day to be interrogated as well DOD, MS DOS and IBM company. IBM too was in fault because accepted an modified system DOS for its PC wich was an 'CP/M' OS. If I understood well. No, computing is not only business and respect of original developers is an right. It should be even today an procedure to let pay son and daughter of Professor 'Gary Kildall'...with an 'DOS' system not authorised to be named as this but by 'CP/M' name. Business is too respect right of developpers which is some money transactions sometimes in case of faults, not exactly business. If I knew this, bought I never 'Microsoft' as software when prices of pc reached some high prices. He would not an other name for his software and IBM should not use 'DOS' was an not authorised software. All must be verified because maybe it is an play between developpers, (an os is so long to write than we should verify if he was alone for example at beginning) at Washington or Pentagon. Mister 'Gary Kildall' have maybe copied himself codes from an other person. All should be verified and an procedure must be updated if opened from 1974 to 1981 and conservated till today to be newly opened. I am finding 52 years too young for an creative developer and of course how hospital did make nothing in good way to let alive? Having some sport cars, some aircrafts or an penthouse or being in an eternal law procedure are not an justification to give less medical assistance in case of problems, it is calling an crime.
Compact disc interactive? nah will never happen
So fortunate to have worked in the Networking arena and enjoyed every minute of it. Started on ICL Mainframes in early '80's with ICL's C03 protocols and FEPs (FDM, SDM, TDM), ICL DRS with MicroLAN, ICL DRS300 with OSLAN, and my favourite testing/implementing 3rd Party networking on ICL's first IBM-compat PC, the DRS PWS - had first versions of IBM's baseband and Token-Ring(LU6.2) LANs, 3Com, U-B, Novell Netware 1.0a. Halcyon days .. when I see a retro PC load with banners of 'netBIOS' and 'netBEUI' memories come back of configuring early Network adapter cards with the correct IRQs and DMAs so the damn things worked!!
Sublogic Jet was the first simulator I bought for my first Nec V20 10Mhz 8088 clone PC that had an ATI Graphics Solution 8 bit card.. lol
"...sometimes known as AMD" - that's so sweet 😅
14:15 2k de RAM! Isso é impensável hoje.
This was an awesome episode! I actually was at CSUN this year, 2024, and I have seen a device that displays graphics for those of us who are blind, like myself. It was a really cool device. You would draw on an iPad, and the graphic would be Displayed on another device.
6:40 we have 90s wii nunchuk and 6:47 we have 90s kinect.
Steward: "She's a computer scientist at the FBI, trying to solve a crime..." Woman: "Sir, please, can you be more quiet. This is public library..."
oop is as bad as any other paradigm
Remember when tech executives show up in meetings wearing suits rather than tshirts?
Anita. Latehar. Manika 🎉🎉
The C64 came out in 1983. They refer to the machine as "old". Really shows how fast technology was growing and improving at the time.
Prodigy, that was my first internet access.
I remember watching this very episode when it first aired. This was how many of us got to see the difference between Sega and NEC's offerings.
Printers never supported fonts for printing because they printed any text as an image. And with the advent of ink and laser printers, it was not the saturation of black color that was valued (because they were all contrasting by default), but the ability to adjust the reduction of black contrast to save toner or ink. Printer manufacturers, where there were professional marketers, always set the “toner saving” function on the first page in the settings, those that were not particularly professional did not set such a function at all, but there was “fast printing” (it was of little use, since printing was not very faster) which, due to faster page scrolling during printing, also saved toner
I think that the writing "hello world" in an error window is not a good idea for presenting a programming language 😁
Back then, i thought the future (wich is 2000 till today), the size of cd rom will be bigger like laserdisc to accomodate the higher capacity.. Never crossed my mind solid state memory is the next technology that replace optical drive...
When I was a teenager back in 2001, I dreamed of having a Falcon Northwest PC. Never could afford one.
