DEC’s PC Challenge 1982
[Recorded: 1982] This corporate documentary produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) chronicles DECs two year odyssey to bring three personal computers, the Professional 325 (PRO-325), the Professional 350 (PRO-350), and the Rainbow 100 to market a year after IBM launched their personal computer. DEC’s strategy was driven by the fear was that if they did not immediately create a successful product that the Japanese who were already producing low cost IBM PC compatibles would capture the market. The narrative follows the challenges of the CT Program Group – Avram Miller (project manager), Michael Weinstein (merchandising), Ron Ham (software), Art Williams (hardware), and Vah Erdekian (manufacturing), as they race to develop a personal computer to show at the June 1982 National Computer Conference in Houston, Texas. This film traces the project from its conception through the design and manufacturing process and documents the intellectual and engineering challenges inherent in creating a new technology product. Gordon Bell sums up this challenge when he says, What we are trying to do with computers is to make a machine that is in fact so good that it can be an intellectual companion with humans. DEC’s goal was to build from scratch a personal computer business that would create over 120000 personal computer small systems the first year of production, and that by 1985 would be worth $3.5 billion. Digital Equipment Corporation was founded in 1957 by Ken Olsen and … Continue reading…
BBC documentary history of computers part 2
The BBC broadcasted in 1991 the serie ‘The dream machine’. This part is about the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation founded by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, who formed EMCC to build new computer designs for commercial and military applications.

(3of5) The Machine that Changed the World: The Paperback Computer. 1992 480P Documentary
(3of5) (Documentary) (480P) The Machine That Changed the World: The Paperback Computer. (OAD: 1992) Documentary overview: The Machine That Changed the World is the longest, most comprehensive documentary about the history of computing ever produced, but since its release in 1992, it’s become virtually extinct. Out of print and never released online, the only remaining copies are VHS tapes floating around school libraries or in the homes of fans who dubbed the original shows when they aired. Video Description: The development of the personal computer and user interfaces, from Doug Engelbart and Xerox PARC to the Apple and IBM PCs. Notes: Like the books of the Middle Ages, early computers were large, extremely expensive, and maintained by a select few. It seemed unlikely they’d be commonplace, partly because they were so difficult to use. Developing software was extremely tedious, the interface limited to writing instructions on punched cards. Ivan Sutherland’s revolutionary Sketchpad was the first graphical user interface, pioneering the fields of interactive computing, computer-aided drawing, and object-oriented programming. Douglas Engelbart’s NLS, demonstrated in the Mother of All Demos from 1968, demonstrated for the first time several concepts that would become commonplace: the mouse, CRT display, windowing systems, hypertext, videoconferencing, collaborative editing, screen sharing, word processing, and a search engine ordering by relevance. Xerox, realizing … Continue reading…
