Iβm quite late to finding out about this, but itβs quite awful to learn. I was hoping heβd be able to complete his documentary of Gary Kildall, but that may never happen now. He died on December 28th of last year [https://obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-cheifet] from the flu. Rest in peace, Stewart.
Remember Computer Chronicles? Remember that schematic? I never found out what it depicts, but I recreated it as vector graphics, because why not? π

CeceliaI just learned that online pizza ordering was basically invented in 1993 (if Pizza Hut was the first).
Alan J. EdmondsI've been watching more episodes of the Computer Chronicles. This one from 1984 is about operating systems. It has Stewart Cheifet walking around inside an Apple II, guided by Bruce Tognazzini from Apple.

jdkiserWatching vintage episodes of Computer Chronicles this weekend. Just did a Kagi search and saw that Stewart Cheifet passed away a few days ago. RIP. May we all be so enthusiastic about our tech. #computerchronicles #pbs #vintagecomputing #stewartcheifet
