Hi people,
I saw a nice report in the History Channel, which talked about the 80"s technology.
In the report they underlined the labor of Apple and Intel. The image of the 80"s computer which Histoy decided to show to our today"s young people was the Apple II and the IBM PC.
Ok, they were icons, but what about the CBM computers ?
The funny thing was, during the documental, a C64 (with a missing F7 key) appeared a lot of times. Also, the blue screen and the CLI of the Basic V2 interface.
Was this a joke ?. They used a C64 to show how a 80"s computer look like, but they didn"t tell anything about it.
They definitely tended to promote Apple, they kept showing the different Apple gadgets, both old and new.
They only mentioned the PET as an "school computer".
Then, they talk about the CD and said that it was developed by Sony with a "LITTLE HELP" of Philips.
Ok, saiy what you want. Just you launch google and you will discover the PHILIPS HELP was as not as little as they think.
IBM PC and Apple work in the 80" arena was impressive. But don't forget CBM !!!!
Thanks History !!!
