I figure this may be a good group to ask this in, since this show was on
during the real heyday of the Apple II.
Back when I was younger, I clearly remember seeing a show on PBS, which
came on once a week, called "The Computer Room". It had a catchy
synthesized theme song, and an opening segment which had an animation of
going between 2D rooms, each with a different subject.
They went into many subjects, including programming, using computers in
industry, etc., and had lots of great video of 1980's mainframes, and
loads of Apple II stuff as well.
Does anyone remember this show? I can't find ANYTHING about it searching
on Google, and I just wanted more information, like who produced it and
where I can possibly get copies of a few episodes on tape or disc (for
nostalgic purposes)
I deeply regret not taping it back then!
