This has to be super-rare, and will take on significant value eventually, if it hasn't already.
Cool.
LOL pretty funny looking back from "28 years in the future“
I own this! My father bought it for my grandfather back in the '80s before I was born… I found it in with my grandfathers learning to code cassettes and cards. My husband is a techie so I will never get rid of them.
Jayne Meadows… "Computah"…
Hi my beautiful Fran
Still so relevant, I used to watch Steve Allen back in the day, incredibly funny and talented man. Nice job Fran.
This is amazing. Who would have thought Steve Allen was a nerd? 🙂
"This Could be the Start of Sometrhing Big"
very cool!
I watched an interview with Steve Alen back then where he promoted this course. At the college NPR station I worked at in 1984 we had one of these and used to laugh our asses off at how poor the news capture software was.
…."most software requires at least 8 KB of RAM". He ain't lying!
Great find Fran!
"…and now Jayne, people are bumping into light poles while chatting on their smartphones. Yeah I know, the 21st Century didn't turn out to be what we expected Jayne." This is a great find. Thanks for sharing this piece of history.
