> I feel like more people should watch Dylan Beattle's "The Web that Never Was" presentation. Didn’t know about it, here is the video of that talk in YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOD1AQGqEg There is a poem-style intro titled “Flatscreens / a song about code” until the talk proper starts at 5’11”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOD1AQGqEg?t=311 Edit: I’m watching it and it is done in an entertaining style but is a bit loose on some details I know about, such as implying that the IBM PC development was started in the early 1970’s when it was in fact started in 1980. Still worth watching so far. Edit 2: finished, it is definitely worth watching. It goes into “The Twilight Zone” of a very interesting alternative history. And does a good job reporting on the Gary Kildall / IBM missed deal for their PC OS. |
