Vintage computer cultural artifacts

Lab Notes

One of my favorite things about Robin’s vids is all the ancillary vintage material. I just adore books like The Complete Commodore Inner Space Anthology, giant hodgepodges of interesting stuff with no specific target audience. classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Commo… twitter.com/8BitShowAndTel…

Currently devouring the Bits and Bytes on YouTube. Vintage training materials for beginners are fascinating in how they don’t quite know what people would be interested in and had to account for platform diversity. Billy Van is fantastic in these. youtube.com/channel/UCCEyR…

Commodore fans are quite familiar with the Jim Butterfield training video, but I have to link it in the same thread as any of this. youtube.com/watch?v=J9WnHu…

Don’t forget Computability, with Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows. youtube.com/watch?v=9rFZKs…

Nearly everyone knows Computer Chronicles but I must mention it, with the all-time great broadcaster Stewart @cheifet and genius inventor of CP/M Gary Kildall. youtube.com/channel/UCkJ6e…
