"The world's biggest backyard fence to talk over"
MacTV has posted a really interesting videocast 'flashback' on the early days
of computing in 1981 (iTMS link), including news footage and computing expo coverage. An intriguing but brief
interview with "multi-millionaire Steve Jobs" made it into the vidcast, and barring any discussions of how
ruthless his Steveness may be, he exhibited the same kind of well-spoken zest for computing in 1981 that he still has
on stage today. At the least, it's a short but fun glimpse at what all this computer stuff was like 25 years ago. If
you haven't subscribed to the MacTV vidcast (or the iPod edition) yet, this is a
great time to start. They consistently post interesting video bits like this both new and old, covering topics you
typically won't see elsewhere.

Well, Steve is half-Syrian, you know.
