Watch "Terminal Madness," 1980 TV special about personal computers

Terminal Madness (A 1980 Documentary About Personal Computers)


In 1980, WMTV in Madison, Wisconsin produced this feature about early personal computers and the geeks who loved them. I enjoyed the discussion of The Source, which was the first online experience I ever had.


George Martin, who posted the video to YouTube, writes: “About halfway through the video there is a segment filmed at my home showing how I had programmed a Cromemco Z-2 computer to control lights and appliances.”
