Happy Thanksgiving

27 Nov 2008 In: Retro Science, Television

Have a happy and retro Thanksgiving. Don’t fill up on toast and popcorn before you go to grandma’s house.

This video from the 80s reminds me just how magical a time it was for computer users. Now it might seem laughable now, but this was pretty good for a PC back in 1985 and certainly would have been useful as a learning tool. Now of course it serves only to entertain and boy does it, right up till the end.

The egotistical disc-based host, the Beret wearing Mr. Program, really ends the show on a sour note. Basically rubbing his superiority in our uneducated non-digital faces. What a jerk.

This movie was made on a Mindset using GW-BASIC.
