It's come to our attention that Stewart Cheifet unfortunately passed away this Sunday December 28 at the age of 87. We at 86Box are incredibly grateful for the work he's done documenting the rise of computer technology in the 80s-90s and offer our sincerest condolences to anyone affected.<br><br>Fly high, legend.

I think it's hilarious that Microsoft and Apple fought over who "owns" the GUI considering they both stole the concept from Xerox PARC.

Nothing pings my nostalgia like an old episode of Computer Chronicles. I used to watch on PBS every week as a kid, dreaming about all the computer stuff that I'd never be able to afford.

Gary Kildall was an absolute genius who was never fully appreciated nor compensated for his contributions to modern computing.

So weird, Xerox came up with the whole idea of the GUI and already had it realized and functioning and Steve Jobs went there and they just gave it to him. The software and computer people at Xerox told the management "Do not give them this" but management saw no value in the early 70's for 'personal computer' anything and they gave it all away.

I love the presenter's delivery... No "uuuuums", no smacking between sentences, no vocal fry...  true professional.
