Such a bright beginning for a company that wound up being entirely built around holding art hostage.

Affinity is $0 btw, as long as you don’t use the AI features, which they for some reason think people will pay for in […]

Computer Chronicles Revisited (@computerchronicles@mastodon.social)
"Computer Chronicles" televised the annual Computer Bowl, a fundraising event for The Computer Museum in Boston that pit two teams of industry figures (East Coast vs. West Coast) against one other in a tech history trivia contest. The East Coast won the first Computer Bowl in 1988 thanks largely to MVP Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Development Corporation, who went 20-2 answering individual questions. https://www.computerchronicles.blog/computer-chronicles-revisited-117-computer-bowl-01/#retrocomputing

What is old is new again. Forty years ago in the #ComputerChronicles, people were talking about disappointments with #AI. And of course, the result was an #AIwinter until the 2000s.

I missed this yesterday, but I'm sad about Stuart Cheifet passing. I grew up watching #ComputerChronicles off and on, and then thanks to YouTube I've seen more. Especially with Clint on #LGR.

Stuart and the others have been great comfy friends to hang out with and keep up to date with computing!

I started this 3D recreation in 2020. Maybe I should try and complete it somewhat in 2026...

Remember Computer Chronicles? Remember that schematic? I never found out what it depicts, but I recreated it as vector graphics, because why not? 😅

이 시리즈를 기획하고 호스팅까지 했던 Stewart Cheifet는 당시에는 이 영상물들이 이토록 귀중한 역사 기록물이 될 줄은 몰랐다고 한다. 게스트들은 모두 자기가 좋아서 나왔고 출연료는 받지 않았다고. https://archive.org/details/computerchronicles

I'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. 🥰

The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.

Sad to hear that #stewartcheifet, host of #computerchronicles and #netcafe, has passed

Tiny influences on a pivot point can exert large effects on the trajectory of a projectile, or a life. Stewart was one such influence on the trajectory of my own life.

Watching early #ComputerChronicles and I'm getting a Michael Scott vibe from John Crouch, who was formerly at Apple on the LISA project.

I've been watching more episodes of the Computer Chronicles. This one from 1984 is about operating systems. It has Stewart Cheifet walking around inside an Apple II, guided by Bruce Tognazzini from Apple.
