Youtube "The computer chronicles"

Fascinating show, mostly about micros but featuring early industry legend Gary Kildall.

The software reviews are hilarious. The predictions of the future of computing always wrong. The guests demoing stuff always cut off as soon as it gets interesting.

I started programming as a teenager in that era but never saw the show in period. For me its eye opening just how amateur the industry really was. The show is unintentionally funny now, but really gives a great idea of the time period.
