Computer Lust Circa 1987
A retro look at the old Computer Chronicles TV show, and a rather young John C. Dvorak (aka the Cranky Geek) in the hotseat. They should have called this show “Stuffy Geeks” given the formality. It looks like John’s having a blast taking apart the IBM PS/2.
I’ve used my share of PS/2 machines when I was a college student, and (putting it mildly) they were slow (even back then). I did, however, like the action on the keyboard.

November 9, 2009 at 4:09 pmI loved the Computer Chronicles and Stewart Chiefet as a kid in junior high and high school. I remember when they had an ep of kids running computer companies. I’m pretty sure there was an ep with Guy Kawasaki when he was still *The* Apple Evangelist. And watching before Dvorak became a complete crank. REAL coverage Atari STs, Amigas, even Commodore 64/128. I was sad when they cancelled the show in *2002*–and shocked lasted that long!!
