Oh, gosh... I'm feeling old! I remember all that early stuff and being around some of the computer nerds and while I got into some of it, I never really tried to test the limits. It was more like, yeah, ok, move on, but it WAS fascinating. And crazy stuff we were trying to build on the hardware side just makes me laugh now. The boss had a PET and we played with that. I had a TI80 and some other "computer" with a built in 4" monitor... I remember playing around with an ADAM and adding extra memory and tape drives to the system. (sigh) yeah, being on the peripheral and looking back now, it was an innovating time, especially when I would go to HP and ask how to do something to fix that or tweak this, and they would say "you can't do that" and I would say, but I did! Now I want to know how to go to the next step and they were still stuck at the 2-3 steps before the "you can't so that." I wonder what might have happened if I was more serious about those days? I did work as a programmer in Fortran and Cobol but I really loved working with the early IBM 360/370's until I switched to CDC 6600's and left milliseconds for nanoseconds - I liked operations better I guess. Great interview I accidently fell into.
I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Mike.

Fascinating stuff. Cant wait to see more ♥
You won't have to wait long - you can expect a new episode every two weeks.
awesome to be part of this together with these legends!

o.0 is a legit 90's OG. So glad to have a chance to capture a lot of these memories before they're lost like the proverbial tears in the rain.
Buckle up, there is a lot more where this came from.
wow. really nice interview, route. some great history here. can't wait to see who else you guys have lined up for this channel.
You still had a digital version of the MCR logo. Impressive ;-).
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man this brings back some memories.
We're just gettin' started.
This is crazy cool
Thanks for listening 💜
Put the audio out on Antenna Pod please.
We're working on expanding this!
On a more constructive note, maybe it is better to note interrupt the story to define technical terms, just write them on the screen!
Noted. Our intention here is to ensure viewers/listeners are not left behind on technical topics. Thank you for the feedback.
Maybe one day I can be a Warlock, too!
History of a "hacker", who sold out and became a white hat!
You're so hardcore!
who do you want to see on here that you consider worthy?
@@wwsul a bit far fetched but I will take it as a compliment!
Pretty sure this is a compliment. Thanks!
