I love the care that goes into the presentation in these old videos.

Slow, with plenty of breaks to let your brain catch up, usually filled with a nice graphical example to keep your bring churning. Plenty of “why” explanation, in the beginning. Authoritative, but not condescending. Just the right amount of jargon.
