>Wish we still had computer reporting of that caliber
Today, when a new CPU is released instead of having a sales rep on the show to demonstrate how much faster it spins a wireframe in a 3-minute segment, there are publications that will spend two weeks benchmarking it who will then release an hour-long video and thousands of words of writing on every aspect of it.
Youtube videos on A/UX go into much more detail than Computer Chronicles ever could and I'm saying that as the founding member, president, and CEO of the Stewart Cheifet Appreciation Society.

We are living in the golden age of technology reporting, if you know where to look.
- kaladin-jasnah 3y agoI have to say, Action Retro is probably one of my most favourite YouTube channels. His enthusiasm for old computers is just contagious. Also, 68K.news, which appeared on the HN frontpage (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26623362 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26623362), was made by him.
