Bits and Bytes (1983)
Excellent primer on then cutting-edge PC use
15 November 2006
I learned VisiCalc (and by extension, Lotus and Excel) from this show.
Billy Van played dumb but not dopey, hitting the perfect mix of curiosity and eagerness without being irritatingly obtuse. Luba Goy, an "Air Farce" veteran even then, played the role of instructor straight, with patience and authority, like you'd get from a non-patronizing teacher.
Just as I seek to relive my youth by running the original Castle Wolfenstein on an Apple emulator, I'd really like to see this show rebroadcast or on DVD. It might be disappointing through my jaded adult eyes, but it'd still be a hoot to listen to Luba giving tips on the proper care of 5.25" floppy disks.
