Triangulation: Stewart Cheifet

[eightbit]

This is a few years old but I find the interview fascinating:

 

 

I watched The Computer Chronicles growing up and it was one of the most compelling computer related TV shows I remember....and one of the very few. Before the internet gave us our "reviews" we relied on magazines and tv shows such as this one. Stewart is a legend and it was really cool watching this. If you've never heard of him or the show I would definitely suggest watching this and checking out all of The Computer Chronicle episodes which are now hosted at archive.org. Lots of computer history in these shows thankfully captured and shared for the masses.

 

The only thing that bugs me about this episode is that the host keeps calling CPM "dr-dos"

Wut the wut?

 

Granted, CP/M *did* evolve into DR DOS, but still, what? o.O;
