Programming history

[B+]

Here is a link to 80's computing, a series of 10 programs from UK.

I wanted to watch whole series before sharing this that was shared with me.

But it is potentially too good to wait, I think, I do know some who would love this and would not want me to hold another second.

I don't know, Richey may have posted this already, sorry if so but I had to post this in case he hadn't.
I am sure he would enjoy this and maybe Paul Dunn as well, at least those two might like this.

Well, anyway,

Cheers

Yes, I remember it well.

There was also this - Making the Most of the Micro

and this...BBC Micro live (this episode being introduced by a rather interesting character)

Also well worth watching is Micro Men. A docudrama based on the battle between Sinclair and Acorn back in the day (you might recognise Martin Freeman as Bilbo in the film version of the Hobbit). You can find it on youtube.

Hi Richey,

Watching the first episode of this, I saw all the magazines I see people writing about now, when remembering back then.
I don't remember any of this "across the pond" in a "fly over state", of course at the time I had my hands full managing a job.

Had you posted this link already?

And thanks for your links, I am getting into this history thing. I like the funny clothes and haircuts we once had.

Sounds like me now 

Interestingly, the second link contains a defence of BASIC in the programme following a call from a viewer during a phone-in slot.

The BBC have made available a large amount of content from the 1980s BBC computer literacy project on this site.
