      Computer History Museum

      by Andrew McCaskey
      This gets pretty dangerous listening to the anniversary videos for the Commodore 64 and the early history of the personal computer. Living through that history is personal in that I remember those events well – and while they have certainly occured some time ago, it is hard to believe that it has been twenty five or thirty years ago.

      The video on the Commodore 64 actually begins after about 12 minutes of commercial promotion of the museum itself – which is pretty redundant if you have seen some of the other videos in the series. – If you were a part of this, even at a distance – you will find this to be a very interesting series.

      How am I’m I putting this into perspective ? I am getting ready to document the coverage for the TPN reporting from CES 2008 in Las Vegas. It is going to be a fun show, as always – and in addition to the official TPN coverage, I want to add some special content that will help to put a personal face on all the reporting that you will see.
