Fond memories of the Mind's Eye videos. I remember when this was state of the art!

If these were filmed but edited on videotape, they should remaster the SOPOT event and release it on HD formats...

People thought the microchip revolution back then was amazing as well. Doctor Who had a great quote from 1988's "Remembrance of the Daleks" touching on it and anachronisms if someone left a 1988 boom box in the middle of 1963 London... shame YT doesn't have it...

80s computers were simply more interactive, right down to saving one's data. Now it's just tap on a tiny glass screen and, voila, no effort required (Alan Alda's script and his delivery really got the most right of the lot...) That, and all the gizmos that Dick Tracy and Captain Kirk and Picard had are now real life...

But, enough real life history for now... I'm off to play games on the Apple 2E. :guffaw:
