    I love those old videos on youtube, it is always fascinating to see contemporary experts talking about the computers of the 80s.

    Everyone needs to leave this world at some point, but it seems most of the greats are dying now.

    Very sorry to hear that, a legend has passed. Just watched LGR's react to the Computer Chronicles 1987 Christmas Episode the other day... I may need to schedule a Computer Chronicles marathon soon in light of this news.

    RIP to a real one. I have the whole series archived on my server, it is a historical treasure worth preserving.

    He documented an era and inspired many people

    You will never be able to talk about the early days of the internet or computing and not refer to his work

    Oh damn 😟

    I went on a massive Computer Chronicles binge a few years ago after discovering it. I feel like the show likely did a lot to normalize computing back in the day, and you could see they were really excited about new advances in technology back then. RIP

    I found computer chronicles on YouTube maybe 8 years ago and binged most of it. Great show. Wonderful snapshot of computer history.

    The computer chronicles was something I watched growing up that informed and entertained me on tech.

    I had actually started watching the computer chronicles on YouTube to get more information on retro computing.

    I didn’t realize that after the show he went on to work with the internet archive.

    I have so many fond memories of watching him interview tech luminaries each Saturday morning.

    Very sad. Only learned about the show from a Youtube channel.

    I've been enjoying watching those episodes. They've held up surprisingly well.

    Masterful reporting.
