AG bear was an amazing bear! He was one of America's first "talking bears" and anytime you picked him up he said hello in "bear talk"😊However, he required a nine volt batery, not a C cell. The original voice boxes were built with a standard wire nine volt conector but after three years of kids pulling out the bateries like they are pulling on taffy and many box replacements later, Alcelon finaly swapped out the wire box for a two point conector box.
You may have identified the finishing touch to a pediatric version of the "medical tricorder" people are trying hard to invent. This hypothetical "Assistant Nurse Bair" (a teddy bear in scrubs), while taking vital signs and relaying them to the nurses' station, might engage little patients in "conversation".
I was a toddler when this came out and so I have no idea what my parents might've gotten me for Christmas but, I do know that there's no way they could've afforded a computer for me. As a matter of fact, we didn't get a computer until 1997 and it was a Gateway. The first time I can ever remember using a computer is in 1990 when I was extremely young and that was at school. I can remember it was an Apple 2 but not much else. I love watching these old shows to see what all I might've missed when I was too young to remember. I still don't think I would want a floppy Christmas card lol
I remember being a little kid at school and being utterly bewildered at how moving the mouse moved the arrow on the screen. It was black magic to me. I remember the teacher taking the mouse ball out and showing me how it moved the rollers. That must've been around 1991.
I grew up in the mid to late 90's but my parents had old tech in the basement so I played that Reader Rabbit game on one of those computers and we had a dot matrix printer just like the one they show here. Just before the millennium we got a more modern (read: several years old type of) computer than ran Windows 95. I remember using it to play "Barbie: Pet Rescue" and "I Can Be A Dinosaur Finder" and "Learning to Read with Pooh". I also remember having been home sick on 9/11 and having the PBS station I was watching abruptly switch to live news coverage of the towers getting hit, and wandering over to the computer room to tell my mom about it (I literally had not ever heard of these buildings before, but knew it was a major event), only to find her already on AOL or whatever other news site on our dial-up connection, reading updates about it.
haha thats funny ohFIshyFIsh. this is 1985 though before the 386 mass-market dumb user boom, when men and women typed into machines for serious operations not leisure. when computers had class, unlike now where from the sexcam factories of asia to the sweetshop IT factories in india, desktop applications are mundane trivialities between looking at porn or playing a 3d murder simulator lol .
@@bastardtubeuser ya because back in the 80s everyone was pure and innocent. There was definitely no drug use or illicit sex happening. It's not like porn has been a major driving force in all technology since the invention of the camera...
26:55 What drive? Stewart didn't even mention the make or model of the optical drive in question. I can't find anything about this Reference Technology CD-ROM with 8,000 programs on it. I'd love to find an ISO image of it to explore.
@25:40 Rocky's Boots was created by Warren Robinett and if you ever used that program you might notice how it looks a lot like Adventure for the 2600 another program he wrote.
At 16:47 Epson PC compatible for $1,000.00, would have been like $2,700.00 then. Average cost of a car then was $5,100.00, so two Epson PCs could set you back a new family car.
No not at all. George Morrow only describes one feature that is common with competent online brokers nowadays (stop loss). Paul Schindler adds that three years earlier (1982) this capability was only available on software costing $8000. We've come a long way since then.
Imagine, if you will, a guest on the show that Stewart doesn’t feel the overwhelming urge to cut short, and talk over, time and time again. That guest, simply does not exist.
Paul Schindler was really snide to George on almost every episode where this particular group was around the same table. He reveled in George's failure with his own business and I simply think it's disgusting.
hey uploader! Can this audio be any lower? I think I can press my head against the speaker harder and listen to atoms vibrate but theres too much audio comming from this video.
@@mudsliemuddy2338 My dude, it's just that the audio is low in the video. If there was a way where you could turn up the audio track and re-export the video, that would solve the problem.
Back then people who had computers could afford it and we're so excited to have it even without internet. They would go out and buy software and just enjoy playing with it even if it was a boring word processor. At the time. If they bought a spreadsheet software, they ACTUALLY learned it to the point of mastery and would learn to code to make better spreadsheet software or axtually get jobs that required spreadsheet use and easily be hired due to skill. Nothings like that anymore. Kids today are born in a world of tech but rather than being excited and intelligent due to learning everything there is to learn online, they are insecure sad little childlike apes, with no talent, self respect, professionalsn, and are desperate for likes and attention from strangers and make stuoid ugly faces on tik tok all day for a few likes

They don‘t make them like that anymore. It‘s staggering how society went down.
@@mabakerYeah, we all know what is happening to Western society.
@@McVaio nothing at all is happening. Your daddy Peterson is spewing lies to generate money off you
RIP Gary Kildall and George Morrow
I still remember going to these kind of shops with my parents to buy a few good games for my C-64. Those were magical times indeed
I had an AG bear. he was my best friend and still is.
Well, that's my Christmas shopping sorted then.
I would kill to go back in time and get to browse around in an old computer store.
make sure to bring back cash printed in that era's currency as you'll need it to pick up anything good
Don’t you mean take back? Dam time travel paradox

Captcha Neon God bless you! I got a computer when I turned four.
Yeah I did not get a computer until 97 . I was 14 and collected scrap metal for two years to buy one

Garry is as giggly as a little girl. So innocent ...
drunk
If someone had invented those cats after memes became a thing they would be prolific household items by now.
5,000 views? More like 5,000,000 - its a floppy disk with a digital christmas card on it! The only gift for the person who already has everything
As the bear kept talking in the background 😅 - adoreable show!
Can you imagine all of your friends getting a Nintendo for Christmas and you get software for the family pc thats plays Christmas music lol!

I received the Jungle Disk for Christmas of 1985 which fortunately was made in various formats for the most popular computers of the time. 🎁
Just imagine receiving a $300 word processor for Christmas...
lol

Adjusted for inflation that's around $850 in 2023.
"Do they mate?" Really Stewart? Really?

Oh my God!!!! Its reader Rabbit I loved that game as a kid. I played the late 80's early and mid 90's version but it was fun.
This is amazing. Thank you for uploading. Those floppy greeting cards were really neat.
I think gary kildall was a little drunk in this episode
I love historyt and this is awesome. In 29 years time from now.............wow. i might rememer ryping this when i am 50
In 30 years, I'll be 73, oy :D When this episode came out, I was in 8th Grade at Traweek Junior High School in West Covina in SoCal.
@25:40 Rocky's Boots was created by Warren Robinett and if you ever used that program you might notice how it looks a lot like Adventure for the 2600 another program he wrote.
I think AG Bear was overshadowed by Teddy Ruxpin despite being a lot lower tech. It's a more about personality and likeability.
quite the preview pic on this one. lol
15:28 this bear's "voice".. my god
So many memories here!
At 16:47 Epson PC compatible for $1,000.00, would have been like $2,700.00 then. Average cost of a car then was $5,100.00, so two Epson PCs could set you back a new family car.
Look at all the shelves filled with commodore godiness. Worth a fortune now
The toy bear they missed was Teddy Ruxpen
@7:10 is he advocating inside trading??
No not at all. George Morrow only describes one feature that is common with competent online brokers nowadays (stop loss). Paul Schindler adds that three years earlier (1982) this capability was only available on software costing $8000. We've come a long way since then.
20:26 - AG still trolling the show, haha!
Imagine, if you will, a guest on the show that Stewart doesn’t feel the overwhelming urge to cut short, and talk over, time and time again. That guest, simply does not exist.
In the earliest episodes he let the guests speak without interruption and they went on forever about the same subject.
I'll be damned if I can barely hear this video
The guy smoking at 2:30. What a time.
Looks like chindler made a list
AG Bear sounds like the teacher on Charlie Brown, basically it's a huge waste of money
5:11 It‘s a Chanukkia, not a Menora… 🤓😉
The start of the parents bane that is talking and noise producing stuffed animals..... :)
I so badly wanted them to recommend the NES.
22:07 hello there 👀
I like those 2 cats,they are almost indistingeble from real cats,absolutely amezing!!!
get 8000 programs for free if you buy 1600$ cd drive. Nice.
Got to lo e American marketing
I love watching these old tech shows on my iPad Pro using a high speed connection and laughing at them.
Coloful graphics at the start of the show. What is this witchery? Bring back the dull brown screen!
Paul Schindler was really snide to George on almost every episode where this particular group was around the same table. He reveled in George's failure with his own business and I simply think it's disgusting.
"SCHINDLER".... there's the reason.
What, no Furby?
You're almost 15 years too early
And I'm about 4 years too late :/

hey uploader! Can this audio be any lower?

I have been investigating you issue for the last four years. I have one last suggestion, turn the sound up on your computer .
@@mudsliemuddy2338 My dude, it's just that the audio is low in the video. If there was a way where you could turn up the audio track and re-export the video, that would solve the problem.
Audio here is ok, wash your ears y'all!
Gawd. Apparently computer nerds have attitude. Quit bitching and do it yourself. Get out of your mother’s basement.
Ah, 1985, i bet the Xbox live gold was really cheap at that time, like 10 bucks a month !
300.00 for just 1 Word Processor.

I used to hate Paul Schneider. Watching these back a lot later, he’s the least pretentious one on the whole show beginning to end.
Pause 23:10 hahahaha
All I really want to know is what the hell is wrong with the bear and why did that piece of junk cost $30?
Oh no Reader Rabbit used the word "gun". Good thing Twitter wasn't around then. And to bad it's around today, it's worse than the word gun.
lol @floppydisks
