Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips

I was walking out of the supermarket the other day with my corn and sour cream and noticed that they were selling a DVD compilation of all the School House Rock videos ever made, including unreleased and never before seen episodes. The DVD was $19.99, and they also had a VHS tape at $12.99. Amazon listing it for a couple bucks more: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JKTY/qid=1091393049/sr=… For the uninitiated, School House Rock was a series of interludes shown during Saturday morning cartoons[1] which put learning concepts (science, history, mathematics, language, etc.) to rock music. It started in the mid-1970s and they were shown through to at least the mid-1980s before they apparently got too outdated to show any more. "Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips" was a three part series that introduced computer concepts. Apparently there's a newly(?) produced 4th episode on the DVD. [1] An institution amongst American children during the 1980s, now defunct due to the supplanting over time of all the good cartoons with absolute crap starting with cocaine-induced dreck like The Smurfs and My Little Pony. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
