Why would anybody become nostalgic about a modern phone, these are hardware coming as regularly and inconsequentially as software updates... besides, they have become way over complicated, their inner workings inaccessible, crappily constructed glued trash, and just overall shallow super fast and therefore boring devices. And EVERYTHING one could love on them is a service now. And said services are tuned to give you an interest rush for 3.2seconds tops. Blurgh...

3:12 - He was a guest when it was chronologically appropriate to your channel, now he is irrelevant. Seriously, i've known of Chronologically Gaming for an entire 2 minutes, and i know his shtick better than he does. These ARE just random misfits from all over the world, with cute animals and a computer in the background somewhere! What a fail.

As a brit I only know LGR, 8 bit guy and Adrian's digital basement.

Incredible nerd power in one room. My fave is Adrian. I enjoy watching him sound all technical and knowledgeable, and watch him not fix computers after multiple hour multiple spanning videos. I always end up saying "Goodness."

I am gratified that you at least experienced the refined purity of Object Pascal. 😊

Thanx for sharing te presentation

I am greatfull this is being made, I'll buy one if sales lag and inventory needs cleared. Its not a main stream product its for the passionate 8-bit users. The emulator is nice the hardware would be nicer and I could use a sixth computer. I don't need a discounted on sale model I just want to wait until the passionate get theirs first. Post some sales goals and a timeline maybe. Being flooded with orders is not too good either.

@tschak909 Too cool! Congrats on the continuing success.

Good coverage on the topic! Interpreted vs compiled, both approaches do have their merits- interpreted can take less resources (fit in 2K-4K ROMs), and easier to dynamically alter the behavior right in the middle of runtime (like scripting). PEEK/POKE became suitable for micros and single-user systems. In larger multi-user systems (like the earlier mainframes), you'd need to be careful on allowing such open access to main memory. Both VB and Delphi were great, I used both in mid-1990s as well. Also check out BASLOAD on the Commander X16, a new approach that adds symbolic goto, long variable names, and other features to the classic Commodore BASIC (while still running on-system).

Super enjoyable and informative - thank you for sharing this info!

It always a red flag for me when a demo seems to be thrown together at the last moment and the hardware is missing parts or doesn't work.

Russ here. It was wonderful seeing you at VCFSW. I'm working on a display of various Sun processor chips and hope to also put together a display of DAT mechanisms for next year.

Nice!

It was called the Acorn Electron.

4:36 "I don't have to worry about youtube copyright stuff here" 🤣

Besides June, who was the other MX-5 owner?

Thanks for sharing the backstory about NVGM! I first stopped there in 2018, I remember the "Change The Year" lever to adjust the speed of transmitting the signal. My daughter enjoys doing speed runs of Oregon Trail. Every time we go, she runs straight to that setup. And you're right, that new-ish library next door is massive (nice place to recharge phones, and its T-rex exhibit is neat since the head swivels). Maybe something to consider: an archive of a complete play-thru of all these historic games. And, a "Hall of Fame" for famous game designers to come leave their hand prints??

Nice progress and presentation! I don't quite get the fascination with midi however. Having rendered audio you sidestep all those issues like not enough sound channels and Roland vs adlib sounding different

Paul is awesome

love the LRG and 8-bit guys intros :D hahahahahah epic :D

Great talk. Good questions too! I hope someday you recover the graphics tools as well - that would be an interesting part of this story.

I’ve been a huge fan of the 8 bit governor since 2017. I recognize that the channel is changing and the uploads are less frequent. But, I do like all the solar and diy projects that David is undertaking. I’m glad that he is still passionate about tech including the Commander X16 and his new arcade business, even if it’s not always content that I watch.

No mention of the Honeywell 316 Kitchen Computer?

*Dude, nobody wants new 8-bit computers!!*

you wanna ask me about md. not some american

Great talk! One important detail is that the Linc from Lincoln Labs and the Linc-8 from DEC are two different releases of the same computer. The first one was built by people receiving grants from NIH who participated in workshops to learn about the machine and then took the resulting product back to their laboratories. The idea was that someone who built a machine could then keep it running. These machines were built using DEC Modules, which was what the company started out with before getting into computers. The second machine was a commercial product from DEC and came out a few years later. Even later DEC did the PDP-12 which could run in either Linc or in PDP-8 mode (both designs had some things in common, which made this possible).

Where does HP timeshare basic fit in here? Many in my generation use this in schools. Our sysadmin had a multiuser version that ran on a single cpu and supported 4 terminals. I don't think it was based on 2000/Access.

It will be interesting to see if any of these chips get replaced with Raspberry Pi Pico drop-ins of some kind

Check out a Danish programming language called COMAL from 1975 and onwards. It was BASIC extended with features for structured programming.

#12:30 - Another BASIC: Locomotive BASIC for the Amstrad CPC. Also, BBC BASIC was preceded by Acorn BASIC.

This is an interested topic. I saw these in the catalogs, but I never saw one in reality.

Nice job. Atually, I didn't know about the dailys builds, just pulled one for my Apple IIGS fujinet.

cool talk!

Super!! I need to get one of these.

You forgot Atari Basic (8-bit computers) was not Microsoft Basic.

VCF was the Virus Computer Festival. The guys got sick after returning.

At 25:09, he said "They didn't use the word first in here," but the plaque he pointed to does use the word first. The first sentence on it calls the Datapoint 2200 "the first desktop personal computer."

Always nice to see the people from Tandy and Radio Shack. My 2nd professional dev job (4th IT job) was in west Fort Worth and several of my mentors were former Tandy/RS people. Great memories!

Great work!

Great job guys!

Interesting - thanks 🤩 37:40 "Welcome IBM. Seriously." hehe good stuff 😂

40:37 The Dicksmith Wizard, that's what my wife calls me!

Fun note: it wasn't really a Tandy Big System BBS, but The Babel BBS in Seattle was running on one of these into the early 90s at least, and I got exposure to them from one or two of the users there.

He's a madman!

The best of the best techretro youtuber 👌

KryoFlux has restored many 1980s dead floppies for me... I would seriously look into that for disk reocvery.... its hardware software combo for a $100-$200.

*True BASIC* *BASICA* ??

I do wonder if Twitch is mostly IRL stuff nowadays. Gaming is still huge, but it's got a TON of people just chatting, playing musical instruments, singing, dancing, painting miniatures (personal favorite as a 40k enthusiast), digital art and analog, live role-playing sessions, crafting etc etc. Plus you can now multi-stream to Twitch and UA-cam at the same time, and Facebook and Tiktok etc as well.

10 PRINT "Excellent Presentation dude!" 20 GOTO 10

wow!
