In der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts sah es für Frauen in der IT-Branche nicht besonders rosig aus. Sie wurden vorwiegend für Hilfstätigkeiten eingestellt, erhielten oft geringere Gehälter als Männer und stießen gegen gläserne Decken. Außerdem kam es gar nicht selten vor, dass berufstätige Frauen mit ihrer Heirat oder der ersten Schwangerschaft die Arbeitswelt verließen. In der 62. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau geht es um Stephanie 'Steve' Shirley, die es sich zum Ziel gesetzt hatte, die Arbeitsbedingungen für Frauen in der IT-Branche zu verbessern, und eines der ersten Softwareunternehmen in Großbritannien aufbaute. Dort stellte sie nicht nur lange Jahre ausschließlich Frauen ein, sondern etablierte flexible Arbeitszeitmodelle, die es gerade Frauen mit Care-Verpflichtungen ermöglichten, trotzdem Geld zu verdienen. Wir blicken in dieser Folge auf Shirleys Weg von ihrer Geburt in Dortmund, über ihre Emigration in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus bis hin zu ihrem philanthropischen Wirken zum Wohl der Gesellschaft. Die offizielle Webseite über Steve Shirley findet ihr hier: https://www.steveshirley.com/ Einen TED-Talk von Shirley könnt ihr euch hier ansehen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftow7dSpaiY Auch das Computer History Museum hat Shirley eine Seite gewidmet: https://computerhistory.org/profile/dame-stephanie-shirley/ Zu einem ausführlichen Interview mit ihr gelangt ihr hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOeb8DZeoF0 Mehr über Shirleys Großmutter Rosa Buchthal erfahrt ihr hier: https://www.juedische-heimat-dortmund.de/rosa-buchthal/ Informationen zum Rosa-Buchthal-Preis erhaltet ihr auf dieser Seite: https://www.dortmund.de/themen/stadtbezirke/innenstadt-west/stadtbezirksmarketing/rosa-buchthal-preis/ In dieser Folge wurde auf zwei andere Folgen verwiesen: - Folge 34 ("Margaret Hamilton und die Software, die die erste Mondlandung möglich machte"): https://informatik-hausfrau.de/2025/02/06/folge-34-margaret-hamilton-und-die-software-die-die-erste-mondlandung-moeglich-machte/ - Folge 59 ("Wie Erna Schneider Hoover verhinderte, dass Telefonsysteme überlastet werden"): https://informatik-hausfrau.de/2026/03/04/folge-59/ Hinweise in eigener Sache: 1. In Kooperation mit der Gesellschaft für Informatik findet Rahmen des Informatik-Festivals in Dresden am 23.09.2026 ein Live-Podcast von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau statt.

Today, Apple is a $3.5 trillion company with over 150,000 employees worldwide. Fifty years ago, it was two Steves – Jobs and Wozniak – working out of a Los Gatos garage. (All great Silicon Valley origin stories seem to include a garage.) Since its inception, Apple has not only introduced culture shifting technology like the Macintosh computer and iPhone, it has also influenced how we live here in the Bay Area, on the edge of the continent and a future being cast by technologists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. We talk about the influence of Apple. Guests: Margaret O'Mara, professor of American History, University of Washington; author, "The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America" Hansen Hsu, curator, Software History Center at the Computer History Museum; former Apple employee; historian and sociologist Learn more about your ad choices.

Apple at 50: First Macs, HyperCard, iPod Halo, and Memories from the Early Days - Part 1 The hosts celebrate Apple's 50th anniversary (recorded April 1) and recommend David Pogue's book "Apple at 50," including his Computer History Museum interview. They invite listener stories and discuss first Apple computers (Apple IIe/IIc/II Plus), early BASIC programming habits, and Apple's influence in schools via HyperCard/HyperTalk.

At the Computer History Museum in the heart of Silicon Valley, people gathered recently at the African Diaspora Investment Symposium to talk about the future of Africa business.在硅谷中心的计算机历史博物馆，人们最近齐聚非洲侨民投资研讨会，探讨非洲商业的未来。In the past, many Africans and especially people like me from the diaspora were not invited to the table to really discuss on issues that mattered for the continent.过去，许多非洲人，尤其是像我这样旅居海外的非洲人，没有被邀请参与真正讨论对非洲大陆至关重要的问题。So we said, well, what if we can just bring everyone together so we can have that discussion at the same table?我们就想，如果我们能把所有人聚到一起，让大家围坐一桌进行讨论，会怎么样呢？Remittances, money set by people living in the U.S. to family in Africa, has long been a key way to support the continent, speaker said.发言人表示，汇款，即居住在美国的人寄给非洲家人的钱，长期以来一直是支持非洲大陆的关键方式。But Negash and others said there are other uses of diaspora funds.但内加什和其他人表示，侨民资金还有其他用途。How do we scale remittances, so that it can also be invested in other people than our family, supporting startups?我们如何扩大汇款规模，以便除了资助自己的家人之外，还能将其投资于其他人，支持初创企业呢？While many investors and businesses want to come to Africa, it can be a challenge to navigate, which is why African nations have been working on the African continent of free trade area, said Joseph Mucheru, Google's first Sub-Saharan African lead and our minister in the Kenya government.谷歌首位撒哈拉以南非洲地区负责人、肯尼亚政府部长约瑟夫·穆切鲁表示，虽然许多投资者和企业希望来到非洲，但在这里开展业务可能是一项挑战，这就是为什么非洲国家一直在推进非洲大陆自由贸易区建设。How do they with the different regulations, different countries be able to get into the continent? So we are providing the platform that they can now use.他们如何应对不同的规定，不同国家的人怎样才能进入这个大陆呢？所以我们正在提供他们现在可以使用的平台。They come, and as part of the continental free-trade area, they are able to then go to many of the other different markets.他们来了后，作为非洲大陆自由贸易区的一部分，他们随后能够进入许多其他不同的市场。For the roughly 50 African entrepreneurs attending the event, this was an opportunity to pitch their businesses.对于参加活动的约50名非洲企业家来说，这是一个推介他们企业的机会。Aboubacar Komara, an architect from Guinea, is working on a housing startup.来自几内亚的建筑师Aboubacar Komara正在为一家住房初创公司工作。We're implicating people in the process of actually building their homes, you know.我们实际上是在让人们参与建造自己家园的过程中。We want to change the concept of what is architecture because architecture has a lot to do with your identity.我们想改变建筑的概念，因为建筑与你的身份认同有很大关系。Neile Nkholise is the chief executive of a sports technology company in South Africa.Neile Nkholise是南非一家体育科技公司的首席执行官。We have a smart wearable that are sewn into the garments around the joint ankles of the athletes' garments.我们有一款智能可穿戴设备，被缝制在运动员服装的脚踝关节周围。Barbara Birungi Mutabazi runs Uganda Women In Technology, which trains female students and young women for technology jobs like coding.芭芭拉·比伦吉·穆塔巴齐运营着乌干达女性科技组织，该组织为女学生和年轻女性提供编程等科技类工作的培训。Yeah, I made some really good connections especially in terms of funding, fundraising. And I'm proud to be a second generation family business leader.我建立了一些非常好的人脉关系，尤其是在资金筹集方面。我很自豪能成为家族企业的第二代领导者。For many of the attendees, the event was a welcome chance to talk about Africa's successes.对许多与会者来说，这次活动是一个谈论非洲成就的好机会。Thelma Ekiyor runs a Nigeria-based business accelerator and an investment fund for women-run businesses.塞尔玛·埃基约尔经营着一家总部位于尼日利亚的商业加速器，以及一个面向女性经营企业的投资基金。"I think one of the problems that Africans had for years is we tend not to talk about the progress and the developments that are happening on the continent,我认为非洲人多年来面临的一个问题是，我们往往不去谈论这片大陆上正在发生的进步和发展。So it's been a pleasure to come here and share with people that live here in the valley about the work that we're doing.很高兴能来到这里，和在硅谷生活的人们分享我们正在做的工作。The connections made at this event can be long lasting as people look for ways to be part of the burgeoning African business sector. 由于人们在寻找融入蓬勃发展的非洲商业领域的途径，在此次活动中建立的人脉关系可能会持续很久。
Every public company in the technology industry measures innovation spending the same way. R&D as a percentage of revenue. Why? Because Wall Street tracks it. Boards benchmark it. CEOs get fired over it. And it tells you almost nothing about whether the spending is working. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard knew that. From the very beginning, they measured something different. Something the rest of the industry has been ignoring for seventy years. And the proof was sitting in a paper that Chuck House pulled out and sent to me after a conversation at a Computer History Museum board meeting. By the end of this episode, you'll know what that metric is, why it works, and why the one everyone else uses makes it nearly impossible to tell whether your innovation investment is building the future or just burning cash. Here's how I found it. The Question That Wouldn't Let Go In the last episode, I talked about the argument with Mark Hurd. The question was over whether HP should cut R&D as a percentage of revenue to match Acer. I knew Mark was fundamentally wrong. But I couldn't prove it. The only metric on the table was R&D as a percentage of revenue. That was what Wall Street expected. It's what shareholders expected. It's what the board expected. But I couldn't argue against it, because I didn't have the data. I needed a better metric. So I decided to go back to the beginning. HP's complete financial records dating back to the 1940s. Division by division. R&D project by R&D project. The actual operating data. I got access to all of it. The HP archive team gave me direct access to Bill and Dave's original notebooks. Now, data alone wasn't enough. It was mountains and mountains of data, and you're trying to extract the signal. What is the trigger in that data? The conversation that cracked it open happened outside HP. The Man with the Medal of Defiance I was at a Computer History Museum board meeting, standing next to Chuck House, and I shared with him the struggle I was having. A little context on Chuck. He spent twenty-nine years at HP. He was the Corporate Engineering Director and he helped launch dozens of products. He's also the recipient, from David Packard himself, of the Medal of Defiance. The Medal of Defiance was given to him because David had told him at one point to kill a product line. Chuck went around that decision, put the product into the catalog, shipped it, and it turned into a phenomenal success. When David gave Chuck the medal, the citation was something along the lines of: "for going above and beyond the stupidity of management and doing what was right." Chuck and Raymond Price co-authored a book called The HP Phenomenon, published by Stanford Press. It's the deep dive into the history of the innovation culture inside HP, all of the metrics used back in the Bill and Dave days that put in place the structure that allowed HP to be successful. By the time I'm at HP, Chuck had long since moved on. He was running Media X at Stanford, the university's research program on innovation, media, and technology. But we both served on the Computer History Museum board. At that board meeting, I shared the argument I'd had with Mark and the search for a better metric. I had a strong feeling there was something around gross margin. That R&D investment impacted gross margin. But a feeling isn't an argument. I needed data. I needed to correlate R&D spend to margin, and that's extraordinarily hard to do when you've got all these different product lines and divisions. Chuck got this little smile on his face and said, "I need to send you something." The Paper and the Whiteboard What he sent me was a paper. A journal paper he and a few of his colleagues had written decades before. And it laid out the connection between research investment and margin performance. The correlation I suspected but couldn't prove was right there on the page. I read it that night. The next morning I emailed Chuck, and I was just really excited. What they'd written decades ago matched what I was finding in the data. That email exchange turned into an invitation. I asked Chuck to come to HP Labs. We met in a conference room in Building 3, the main building for HP Labs at the time. And I'll tell you, I look back on this and it makes me smile a little, because this conference room was just down the hall from Bill and Dave's offices. HP preserved those offices exactly as Bill and Dave left them. You can walk in there today, see their desks, see their offices, just as they were on their last day. There's something about being that close to where it all started that makes the history feel less like history and more like unfinished business. Chuck walked up to the whiteboard and drew two things. On the left side: R&D as a percentage of revenue. The metric every company reports. The metric Mark used to argue HP was overspending. Chuck's point was simple. That metric tells you how much you're spending. That's it. Nothing about whether your products are any good. Nothing about whether customers value what you built. It's an input metric pretending to be an output metric. Two ways to improve the ratio: spend less on research, or sell more of what you've already got. Neither of those is innovation. You can manipulate R&D as a percentage of revenue by cutting your R&D spend, or you can cut prices to drive top-line revenue. But neither has any connection to measuring whether your innovation is actually working. On the right side, he drew gross margin. The distance between the cost to make something and what the customer pays for it. Chuck said: that gap is a direct measure of differentiation. Solve a problem nobody else can solve, and customers will pay for that difference. Margin expands. Build a product that looks like everyone else's, and customers have no reason to pay more. They'll shop you. Margin compresses. Then he drew the line connecting both sides. Research investment flows in. If the research produces differentiated products, gross margin expands. That expanded margin funds the next round of research. A virtuous cycle. But only if you're watching margin. The moment you manage to the spending ratio instead, the cycle breaks. The boardroom conversation stops being about whether research is producing differentiation. It becomes about whether the spending number looks right compared to some peer. That's what happened with Mark. HP's PC group margins were compressing toward commodity levels. The response, driven by that revenue-ratio metric, was to cut research spending to match the compression. Exactly backwards. Compressing margins are the alarm bell. Fix the research pipeline. Fix your innovation. Not just more innovation, but good innovation. Don't defund it. Bill and Dave's First Product, and What It Actually Proved Standing at that whiteboard, I could see it running through HP's entire history. The HP 200A audio oscillator. 1939. HP's first commercial product. Competitors were selling oscillators for over $200. Bill and Dave were selling theirs for $89.40. Now that's not because they undercut the market. What Bill figured out as part of his master's degree project at Stanford was that by using a light bulb inside the circuit as a self-regulating component, you could smooth the output in a way competitors couldn't match. Technically superior instrument. Radically cheaper to build. Walt Disney bought eight of them for Fantasia. The founders tracked the gap. Cost versus what customers pay. Not total revenue. That gap is gross margin. And that gap funded everything that came after. A lower-priced product, a higher-quality product, and the margin it generated is what drove HP's ability to continue to reinvest. David Packard codified it. He described what he called the six-to-one ratio. Products at HP were considered genuinely successful only when the profit from a product over time was six times the cost of developing it. If it was lower than that, it wasn't generating enough. And this is also how Bill and Dave decided which product lines to kill off. The ratio determined where research dollars were earning their return and where they weren't. The products that crushed that ratio weren't the ones with the biggest R&D budgets or the most engineers. They were the ones earning the highest return on the research dollar, because customers paid a premium for what the research produced. And here's what this enabled: self-financing. No debt. No banks. No Wall Street ninety-day pressure. That was back before HP was even public. It was the freedom to invest in research on a ten-year horizon, and that's only possible with healthy margins. At HP's margins, spending landed at about eight to ten percent of revenue. Why Eight to Ten Percent Is Not a Contradiction Now you might hear "eight to ten percent of revenue" and think I'm contradicting myself. I just spent ten minutes telling you that R&D as a percentage of revenue is a useless metric. Here's the difference. Bill and Dave didn't start with the percentage and work backwards. They started with margin. They funded the research that kept margins healthy, and the spending that produced happened to land at eight to ten percent. The percentage was a byproduct, not a target. The moment you flip that and make the percentage the goal, you've lost the plot. That's the distinction the entire industry missed. Chuck drew all of this in about twenty minutes on a whiteboard. Decades of institutional knowledge, distilled into one diagram. And the thing that hit me hardest wasn't the analysis. It was the realization that HP had already figured this out. The knowledge was in a paper that had been sitting around for decades. The company had just forgotten. What was old had become what was new. HP didn't need a breakthrough. It just needed to remember. Confirming the Pattern: Art Fong and John Young After the session with Chuck, I reached out to two other people who'd been there in the early days. Art Fong. I've talked about Art many times on this show, and there's an interview with him in the archive. He was the sixth R&D engineer Bill Hewlett ever hired. At one point in the 1960s, twenty-seven percent of HP's total revenue came from Art Fong's innovations and projects. And John Young. John was the first CEO after the founders stepped back, after Bill and Dave retired. He took HP from $1.3 billion in revenue to $16 billion. I had the same discussion with both of them about R&D as a percentage of revenue, about margin. And they both confirmed it. They shared their own stories about margin priority, the six-to-one ratio, and their direct conversations with Bill and Dave. That series of conversations with Chuck, Art, and John, capturing all of that history, really drove me to refine the thinking on the R&D-to-margin connection. So what did I do next? I back-cast against the entire HP history. Division by division. Is it predictive? Can you use a metric to actually predict? That's what turned an insight into something defensible in a boardroom. But here's the thing. This isn't just an HP problem. Most companies never had the margin insight. They started with R&D as a percentage of revenue because that's what Wall Street asks for, and they've never questioned it. Margin would have caught it. Margin starts telling you the truth years before the revenue line does. By the time you see revenue take a dip, the damage is done. That is the result of decisions made three, five, ten years prior. Margin compression is the early warning. Differentiation is fading. Research is not producing what it needs to produce. Half the Answer, and a New Problem Walking out of HP Labs that day, I thought I'd found the answer. Track margin, not spending. Watch the output, not the input. It took me another year to realize I'd only found half of it. When I started tracing where HP's R&D dollars were actually going, division by division, I found a problem hiding inside two letters. R and D. We say it like it's one thing. It's how we report it in financial filings. It's how Wall Street looks at it. It's how the press views it. But it's not one thing. Research and development are two completely different activities, with completely different time horizons, different risk profiles, and different impacts on the business. The moment you combine them into a single line item, you can move money from one to the other, and nobody outside the building can tell. That's what we're going to get into in the next episode. The split nobody sees. Here's a question for you. If you've found a way to connect R&D spending to actual business outcomes in your company, how do you do it? What metric are you using with your leadership to make the difference? Drop it in the comments. I read every one of them, and the best answers end up shaping future episodes.

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice.

One spring evening in 2024, science journalist Rachel Gross bombed at karaoke. The culprit was a bleed in a fist-sized clump of neurons tucked down in the back and bottom of her brain called the Cerebellum. A couple weeks later, her doctors took a piece of it out, assuring her it just did basic motor control - she might be a bit clumsy for a while, but she'd still be herself. But after that surgery Rachel did not feel quite like herself. So she dove into the dusty basement of the brain (and brain science) to figure out why. What Rachel found was a new frontier in neuroscience. We learn what singing Shakira on stage has to do with reaching for a cup of coffee — and why the surprising relationship between those two things means we may need to rethink what we think about thinking.Special thanks to Warzone Karaoke at Branded Saloon, the Computer History Museum for their archival interview with Henrietta Leiner, either the choir “Singing Together, Measure by Measure” or the Louis Armstrong Department of Music Therapy which houses it, Daniel A.

Why has Acquired — seemingly against all odds — “worked”? It's a puzzling question: episodes are four hours long, they come out infrequently, and they usually don't have guests or video. Hardly the standard-issue playbook for podcasting success! And yet well over a million smart, curious and exceedingly busy humans share their (your!) valuable time with us every month. Why? This is the exact paradox that has been rolling around in the head of Michael Lewis (yes, that Michael Lewis) since he found the show earlier this year.So we asked Michael to be our guest "interlocutor" and share what he thinks is going on here, while we share ten lessons we've stolen (graciously) from companies we've studied and brought into Acquired itself. He takes us through the entire Acquired journey: how we started, why we've never hired anyone or raised money, how we pick episodes, what our business model actually is, why we focus on quality and enjoyment over maximizing enterprise value, and ultimately why we're all — you, him, us — kindred spirits together.

In den 60er- und 70er-Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts hat eine Frau zwei Beiträge geleistet, die die Tech-Welt nachhaltig beeinflusst haben. Anerkannt und gewürdigt wurden ihre Leistungen lange Zeit nicht, stattdessen musste sie auf vielfältigste Weise Diskriminierung erfahren. In der 53. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau beschäftigen wir uns mit der Informatikpionierin Lynn Conway und ihren beiden Errungenschaften, die Computerprozessoren effizienter und Mikrochips nicht nur übersichtlicher, sondern unter anderem auch demokratischer machten. Konkret schauen wir uns an, wie das Generalized Dynamic Instruction Handling funktioniert, und erfahren, was sich hinter Moore's Law und der VLSI-Revolution verbirgt.

My name is Randy Kindig and I'm the host for this lovefest for vintage computers and programmable calculators from the late 70's thru the 80's. If you love old computers, you've found the right place! This month, I'm completing the ongoing series of episodes about the HP 97/67 programmable calculators. This is the third and final in the series that provides us with a terrific co-host who is able to provide a lot of color about these machines: that being HP calculator historian Wlodek Mier-Jedrzejowicz (“Vwahdek Meer-Yeng SHAY of itch”). No one knows more about HP calculators than Wlodek and all of us are honored to get his insight into these HP calculator gems.

Interview with James Nagle, Reboot of Compute's Gazette Magazine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper FutureVision Research Hello, and welcome to episode 151 of the Floppy Days Podcast for May, 2025. My name is Randy Kindig and I'm the host for this ode to computers that only survive in our memories and our collections. This month, I'm continuing to step aside from the ongoing series of episodes about the HP 97/67 programmable calculators to bring you a timely interview that basically constitutes current news. I don't often do this, but this news was so exciting to me that I wanted to bring this to all my listeners as soon as possible. The interviewee is James Nagle and the topic is the sudden and welcome news that James is planning to revive the iconic Compute! magazine under the equally-iconic name Compute's Gazette. I hope you'll stick around to hear about James' plans and are as excited as I am to find out where this goes. For upcoming shows, we do have one more episode in the series on the HP97 with HP calculator historian Wlodek Mier-Jedrzejowicz (“Vwahdek Meer-Yeng SHAY of itch”). I will air that episode very soon.

Interview with David Greelish, Apple Lisa Documentary Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper FutureVision Research Hello, and welcome to episode 150 of the Floppy Days Podcast for April, 2025. My name is Randy Kindig and I'm the host for this journey through the annals of home computer history. This month, I'm going to step aside from the ongoing series of episodes about the HP 97/67 programmable calculators to bring you a timely interview with a good friend about an interesting topic. That friend is David Greelish, a computer historian, and the topic is his recent publication of a film documentary about the Apple Lisa, called "Before Macintosh: The Apple Lisa". David tells us all about the film, why he produced it, why the Apple Lisa was an important part of home computer history, who he interviewed for the film (he had some amazing guests) and much more. It's a great film and should interest a lot of the listeners, so please consider going out and purchasing the film in order to support David's efforts. For upcoming shows, we do have one more episode in the series on the HP97 with HP calculator historian Wlodek Mier-Jedrzejowicz. I will air that episode very soon.

We flew to Taiwan to interview TSMC Founder Morris Chang in a rare English interview. In fact, the last long-form video interview we could find was 17 years ago at the Computer History Museum… conducted by the one-and-only Jensen Huang! This episode came about after asking ourselves a version of the Jeff Bezos “regret minimization” question: what conversations would we most regret not having if the chance passed Acquired by? Dr. Chang was number one on our list, and thanks to a little help from Jensen himself, we're so happy to make it happen.Dr. Chang shares the stories of a few crucial moments from TSMC's history which have only been written about in his (currently Chinese-only) memoirs, including how TSMC won Apple's iPhone and Mac chip business and a 2009 discrepancy with NVIDIA that almost jeopardized their relationship, and the lessons he took from them. We can't think of a better way to kick off 2025. Please enjoy!Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Spring ‘25 Season partners:J.P.

Our good friend Steve Lin joins us to run down the trip he and Brad recently took to the Vintage Computer Festival: West Coast Edition, hosted in Mountain View, CA's wonderful Computer History Museum. Did you ever wonder about the strange arrow-key layout of early Soviet computers? Or how to build your own CRT out of a tube you found on the sidewalk? Or what it takes to rebuild the entirety of the early online service Prodigy from scratch? Or about the time Intel shoved a hundred 286s into a single computer?

Episode 141 - Interview with Paul Terrell, The Byte Shop - Part 2 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 141 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for July, 2024. I am Randy Kindig, your host, as always, for this historical perspective on obsolete-but-still fun technology. This month I'm bringing you a follow-on interview episode from last month. As we discussed then, Paul Terrell is a name well-known in the annals of computer history; probably most famously for his kickstart of Apple Computer through the purchase of one of Steve Jobs' and Steve Wozniak's first batches of Apple I computers for his Byte Shop. The Byte Shop was a very early computer store that was one of the few that existed in the world, at the time. In this interview, we continue to focus primarily on The Byte Shop, how it got started, what it was like, and much more. There will be even more content in future episodes, as Paul and I had a pretty lengthy discussion on just this topic. If you want to know what it was like to run a computer store in those early days, this is the interview for you! Along the way, you'll learn even more about just what the home and hobby computer scene was like in those days.

Episode 140 - Interview with Paul Terrell, The Byte Shop - Part 1 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 140 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for June, 2024. I am Randy Kindig, your guide to this journey through vintage computer goodness. This month I'm bringing you another interview episode. Paul Terrell is a name well-known in the annals of computer history; probably most famously for his kickstart of Apple Computer through the purchase of one of Steve Jobs' and Steve Wozniak's first batches of Apple I computers for his Byte Shop. The Byte Shop was a very early computer store that was one of the few that existed in the world, at the time. I've had an earlier introductory interview with Paul where numerous topics were covered in a more general manner. I also talked with Paul about his time at Exidy working on the sorcerer computer. In this interview, we focus primarily on The Byte Shop, how it got started, what it was like, and much more. Through several conversations with Paul, the interview ran quite long, so this is part I of The Byte Shop discussion. If you want to know what it was like to run a computer store in those early days, this is the interview for you! Along the way, you'll learn even more about just what the home and hobby computer scene was like in those days.

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . My guest is William A. Adams, technologist, philanthropist, and recorded by the Computer History Museum as one of the first Black entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. He was the first technical advisor to Microsoft's CTO Kevin Scott and has founded and overseen global initiatives at Microsoft from XML technologies as early as 1998, to DE&I initiatives in 2015. The Leap program, with a focus on diverse hiring, was named Microsoft's D&I Program of the year in 2020. We talk about William's experience creating the Leap program, its impact, the relationship between AI and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs like Leap, and creating personalized chatbots. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
Episode 139 - Interview with Vic Tolomei, VP Software Development, Exidy Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 139 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for May, 2024. This month I'm bringing you another interview episode; in the ongoing effort to document the story of Exidy and its Sorcerer computer. I've already talked, in previous episodes, with Howell Ivy and Paul Terrell, both principals at Exidy and in the creation of the Sorcerer computer. Those were quite popular episodes! In this episode, I also tracked down Vic Tolomei, VP of Software Development at Exidy during that same time, and got his story. If you want to know what it was like to lead a software development effort at that time, this is the interview for you! Upcoming on the podcast, I have more interviews to share, as well as more hardware to cover. I'm actually a few months ahead with developing content, which I guess is an advantage of being retired! I've created some tiers for paid members and have come up with some ways to reward those who are generous enough to monetarily support the Floppy Days Podcast on Patreon. First of all, all tiers ($2/month and up) will receive early access to companion videos for any interviews that are published. The audio will be published to Floppy Days immediately, as usual, while any video will be made available exclusively to all paid members for a period of time (at least 30 days) before the general public. The videos will be published for you on Patreon.com, and then moved to the Floppy Days YouTube channel after the exclusivity period is over. Other benefits have been added for the tiers above the minimum $2 tiers, such as Floppy Days merchandise, an audio introduction for supporters, and even the option to co-host an episode! It is my intention to always make all content available to everyone at no cost, while at the same time providing some benefits for those generous enough to support the podcast. I hope this is a good compromise. Please let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!!
