Computers in Action
YouTube Uploaded by dj2mn on May 18, 2011
"Here's me and my hair in 1982 demonstrating a sound card for the Apple II that makes "three distinct tones" which were in fact square waves. If i remember correctly you could peek & poke machine code values to change the duty cycle of the waveform, but mostly you just bleeped away in square.
The clip is from the ABC Children's Education show "Computers in Action" which was showing kids the amazing things computers could do at the time. I think the segment after mine was about traffic lights.
(Apologies for the poor audio, there was a plug loose somewhere. Also, yes, this is hilarious, you are allowed to lol.)"
Computers in Action Theme

"I composed the theme for a 1983 ABC TV edumacational show for kids called "Computers in Action." If you're thinking to yourself "Look Around You" then you'd be right - but this was the real thing. Transferred from old VHS with a dodgy audio cable so apologies for the sound. As if you really need it in THX."
