Can someone help me I am looking for a set DVDs of a computer TV Series it was broadcast on TV somewhere in the US from 1980 up to around 2000, and talks about the good old days of computers from PCs to Mac, the hardware and software that was around at that time.
It’s called the "The Computer Chronicles" I only found about it sometime back and really liked them after seeing a few episodes on YouTube.. So I was wondering if there was a site selling maybe box sets of the episodes or even the complete collection in DVD format.
I looked on amazon and nothing comes up in the search I know it may be hard to find since the series was filmed some years ago back.
Thanks

Yes they were I like the 80s just something about that time. the music is quite catching even some of the pop stuff. the rock was the best. haha and the horror movies were ace. classic does anyone remmber Zombi Flash Eaters. they sure did know how to make movies back then. I often now find my self listing to the 80s radio. I found a shop a few months back not far from were I live. and he sells boxsets I got a few now. JAWS , The Fly, Freddy, George A. Romero dead collection. I am just waiting now to get my hands of Friday the 13th box set.

Nothing wrong with CGI either. Some of the best SciFi ever has been done thanks to that. Stargate for instance... plus Stargate Atlantis and then Universe... The space effects in Universe are incredible - makes Atlantis's look a bit cartoonish!
I used to think Star Trek TNG was good... it looks rather amateur by todays standards now!

Disagree about TNG. Recently watched all 7 series in full HD and they didn't look dated to me

Where else can you see "Cyber Dating" in Netscape Navigator?

I can't help with DVD, and chances are that any you'd find on eBay and the like are just these files burned as a DVD-Video by someone in their bedroom.

I assume you mean "The Greatest American Hero".

I used to enjoy watching that show.
