Those who spent their formative years back in the 20th century may or may not remember Stewart Cheifet, long-time presenter and executive producer of a US TV program called “The Computer Chronicles”, which was mainly produced through the 1980s and 1990s. I don’t recall that ever being shown here in NZ, but I later came to discover him through compilations of the shows on YouTube. And it turns it he has been instrumental in ensuring that records of all 400-odd episodes, as far as possible, have been preserved at the Internet Archive, as a valuable snapshot of the computing scene back in that era. Also of note, his co-presenter for the first several years was Gary Kildall, of CP/M fame, until the death of the latter. Now we hear Cheifet himself has passed away at the age of 87 <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/stewart-cheifet-pbs-host-who-chronicled-the-pc-revolution-dies-at-87/>. (Oh, and if you’re wondering, he always pronounced it like “shuffay”).
