The first of hopefully many hundreds of (weekly) posts to come.

This is the first episode of the classic 80's computer PBS program, which delved into what was at the time the state of the art. A time when computer companies and hackers were still figuring out what these things could do, and when many whacky and interesting ideas were attempted, to varying success.
