@siracusa This is truly heartbreaking. I often go back and watch old episodes with so much nostalgia. In fact, I remember before most episodes were uploaded to YouTube, I binged on almost every episode one weekend while babysitting. I always would have loved to see a revival of the show done the same format and aesthetic reviewing modern versions of tech. #RIP Stewart Cheifet, definitely one of kind presenter. Thank you for documenting the era. #Technology #Microsoft #Apple #90s #Computers #PC

@siracusa I eagerly watched that too. In the 80’s there was much more OS diversity for home computers. Simpler times.

@siracusa I loved Computer Chronicles 💔. I just looked up the incredible “Copland Preview” episode that got me excited for the never released OS: https://youtu.be/5j5UODUAETc?si=Cm8PIAAS2Y_BCJ78
