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

    That’s a shame but a good age to reach. I loved watching Computer Chronicles with him and Garry (who sadly passed away much younger), great nostalgia for bygone days.

    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

    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.
