The Intro:
"There was a period in the mid nineties when Apple (without Steve Jobs) experimented with licensing the Mac OS to other computer manufacturers. That led to a rush of Mac clones. At the same time, Apple was introducing 'Copland', its new OS, dubbed System 8. This program looks at several of the new Mac clones and reviews System 8. Demonstrations include the Power 100 from Power Computing, the Genesis MP from Daystar Digital, the Radius System 100, the Power PC PowerBook and the new Macintosh System 8. Originally broadcast in 1995."

Creative Think
July 15, 2008
Another interesting 1982 tale from the inside at Folklore.org by Andy Hertzfeld. Andy recalls a seminar on creativity with Alan Kay. It begins:
"In July of 1982, while I was in the midst of writing the Control Manager part of the Macintosh toolbox, my friend Bill Budge invited me to a computer industry seminar called 'Creative Think', where interesting people gave purportedly inspiring talks. It was organized by Roger van Oech, a consultant who had written a book about creativity entitled 'A Whack On The Side Of The Head'. I usually avoided both creativity seminars and industry schmooze-fests, but my friend Bill had somehow finagled free tickets and I thought it would be worth it just to see him."

Memoir of a Homebrew Computer Club Member
July 07, 2008
Bob Lash recounts his experiences. From the page:
"My first exposure to computers was at age 6 (1963), as a subject in Dr. Patrick Suppes' accelerated mathematics experiment at Stanford. I was taken to a small room with what I now know was a CRT display and an intercom. I was asked to push some keys in response to some shapes on the screen. Afterwards, they showed me around a large room filled with big cabinets, some with lots of blinking white lights.
They said it was a 'computer' and its name was the 'PDP-1'. A tall thin man asked me to hit a key on a console to make a 'decktape'. I had absolutely no idea what a "DEC tape" was at the time, but when I hit the key, a small pair of reels BEGAN TO TURN!! It was a moment I would never forget."
