poison dicks?
Comment from : @labtob

This show makes me appreciate using the [desktop] microcomputer, but I discovered that the CD technology was bad for me Lots of improvements will be needed for that digital disc and the drives to work perfectly without failures I wish that The Computer Chronicles did not come to an end

I remember having a 2x cd rom drive in my gateway 2000 486 dx2 66v computer in 1994 and thinking how revolutionary and transformative the tech was! Loved my Microsoft Encarta!

My first Windows PC was a CD ROM computer system that had a built-in CD ROM disc drive I had bought it in 1997 so the OS was actually Windows 95 on my system and its back up CD ROMs

We need to go back in time and warn these geeks that Steve Jobs is going to release the iPhone in 20 years and ruin humanity

I seem to recall early CD-ROMs had caddies? I guess that came later?
Comment from : @Blatstein

The mention of 100 gigs in 1988 is insane!

Microsoft Bookshelf was one of those niche products that was such a cool idea
Comment from : @timothystevenhoward

here's an analogy Imagine having new Xbox Series X launch with a 500TB hard drive it was that same feeling of "how am I ever going to fill this up?"
Comment from : @timothystevenhoward

You couldn't copy the full content of a CD into your computers HD Too big A few of My first computer CDs was a Compton's Interactive Encyclopaedia, Forever Growing Garden and The Journeyman Project Turbo, circa 1993

23:10 - "A stackable mechanism, store more than 100 gigabytes of information"brI want to step into a time machine and show them my DSLR that holds two 256 GB SD-cards I think they'll have a heart attack when I tell them each image I take is more than 36 MB
Comment from : @ewouthonig371

So funny that the nerds from Microsoft suddenly seemed so dumb with their character based bullshit-application "bookshelf" when the lady with the Macintosh showed how it should be done
Comment from : @ewouthonig371

8:09 They really tried hard to look as nerdy as possible, didn't they?
Comment from : @ewouthonig371

In 30 years they might laugh at us buying graphics cards or hard drives or whatever for 600$ in 2020

Comment from : @crayon-u3q

Boy, if there was some form of global system with a dictionary, list of poisons, audio, etc CDs would be completely unneccessary
Comment from : @jeremywj

During the height of the CD ROM era, I didn’t think they would almost go extinct in just about 20 years! Same with DVD’s! No sooner did DVD tech become accessible to everyone, than they were clobbered within 15 years by internet streaming
Comment from : @algomaone121

Holy cow! I didn’t know the term “Hypertext” existed in the late eighties! I only leaned the term in about 1994
Comment from : @algomaone121

Who had fun with MYST in the 90’s ?

I feel like I missed out never having a subscription to CD Rom review! Did it last longer than 12 months?

They nailed the EA prediction
Comment from : @O100111001010101

Wouldn't you love to go back in time and take a PS3/Xbox360 with you? They'd probably have heart attacks "The CD-I is expected to sell tens of millions!" Yeah, try about 1 million! What version of Test Drive is that? None of the screenshots of the various versions look that green Even the CGA version is purple and light blue, not green
