Watch it here!
Computer Chronicles, where have you been all my life! Shitty ass G4tv never seriously delivers when it comes to geek anything, just a cheesy buzz word like most all that comes out of their hosts mouths. Even Techtv was nowhere near as "l33t" and informative when it came to geek stuff as people claim save for TSS and Call for Help. Looking at these newer offerings, I always wondered how great or possible some real computing related programming could be. Then I came across this show after all this time, right under my nose for so long. I was always a big educational UHF junkie, but I've never come across this show on any of those types of channels.
Before my bedtime? I didn't look hard enough? Don't know, but I'm definitely watching now and you should too. Even though it's a very dated show now, alot of the discussions they have still apply very much to current computing. If like 90% of the things they display weren't bulky and beige you'd swear they were explaining how stuff in your current pc works. The real star though is the excellent history lessons. So much history and fresh unveilings we all look back on occur in realtime. OS2, Win95, the browser wars, it's just amazing to see such curious speculation on what's now etched in stone.
The only bummer is dealing with the quicktime format. Using anything other than flash for video should be a hangable offense these days, but flash video does suck on older computers so I digress.
