A Conversation with Chuck Peddle, Bil Herd, Jeri Ellsworth

[RobertB]

     While we await the posting of another batch of CommVEx 2010 videos, here's part 1 of a video from CommVEx 2009.  CBM engineer Chuck Peddle, CBM engineer Bil Herd, and engineer Jeri Ellsworth video-conferenced into CommVEx and had discussion of the early days at Commodore Business Machines.  Not to be confused with an earlier Chuck Peddle interview from the Vintage Computer Festival East, this new talk sheds more light on Peddle, Jack Tramiel, and the PET and VIC-20 computers.
     To see the one-hour video, go to

Parts 2 and 3 will be uploaded in the future.

I love how one of the sharpest technological minds of our age (Jeri) spends half of the first segment just trying to get Skype working. It speaks volumes to the combined blessing/curse of technology.
