It's fun to watch some of the old episodes reviewing the commodore 64 or nintendo entertainment system :D

Yeah I watch a few eps every week. I keep coming back to the ones on the C64 and Amiga tho. One of the eps that pops out in my mind was about storage, with "experts" claiming that optical media will never catch on and that we will never see solid state drives that can compete with HDDs. Also thought it was funny that the expert said that people would stick with the 5 1/4 inch floppies and that the 3.5 inch ones were only a fad...
