We're going to stick to the original title of "Domesticating the Computer" - since that's more in tune with the intended theme. TAKE #11: (reference, revision listed below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLHcUbVO_G0 And here's the narration situation. My daughter said she'd try it, and she did :) But here's the problem, she has those painful metal braces. Point in fact, she got them tightened yesterday and in general speaking for very long isn't her favorite thing right now. So she's requested to just stick to being in the Art department (recall, she did the background art and overall arrangement and selection of the systems). But, I still wanted to share this Take#12 to show she is real and is involved in the project :) And also that there were a few visual updates planned. TAKE #12: (daughter narration) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2flzdzM-ZKM Here is a summary of some of the visual updates... 01:11 added the ComputerWorld article referencing Pillsbury Farms and Datapoint, in case there were any doubters about that. [ the article is from '73 and by that time they had been using the system for a couple years - I think the original sales contract is in a museum down in San Antonio still ] (she botched the Odyssey audio - and this is a casual draft, so it's just blanked out) 02:16 added a visual reference to Apollo program (since yes there are some people who didn't catch what that means) 05:03 updates to the "factory" photos (found shot of Tandy's wave soldering machine) [ I still am aware and agree the use of the word "motherboard" here isn't quite right -- but, acceptable anachronism? ] 05:21 (just wanted to point out - some complained I didn't mention the Sphere, which recently a runnable board was revived and demonstrated; can't fit em all, and the Sphere is mentioned at the bottom here as one of the "early competitors") 07:32 looking for more "zip-loc bag" examples (Scott Adams has spoken and confirms he used "baby bottle liners" - it's a small technicality that I may just address visually on screen); I'm hoping Ken and Roberta might have photos of some of their old HiRez adventure in bags, but I suspect that all burned in their house years ago ('91 or so?) (I wanted a small segment to explain why Zork couldn't be made available on cassette tape-- I content that Zork itself motivated the purchase of many early disk drives :) but that'll be for another day ) 07:49 minor updates for VisiCalc presentation (it's so neat that in '79, it had effectively Freeze Panes, split window, and could do Plotting!) Dan confirms that yes, "software patent" (lack of it) was an issue at the time 09:46 adjusted to give "credit" of 86-DOS to Paul Allen and Tim Patterson. 13:50 the census report of 8% of "households of computer" is an important part of the theme (...some bloopers at the end...) I now have two (separate) folks who can maybe help with the narration. If that comes together, then I'll add a note to a review of that in the description or comments of TAKE #11 and TAKE #12. -Steve (voidstar)
