#2> Interviews in the recovered recordings include Timothy Leary, Douglas Adams, Bill Gates, Atari’s Jack Tramiel, Apple’s Bill Atkinson, and dozens of others

Here's the actual archive as a note to myself to listen to it later today: https://archive.org/details/famous-computer-cafe

#3I started to listen to Bill Gates' interview [1], just to hear what he had in mind back then. Sounded almost topical in today's world. AI was mentioned, and predicting users' input in the distant future.
Side note, archive.org has two players. The first one doesn't have a timestamp where you currently are. The second player, the Winamp clone does have it, but I don't think one can link to specific parts.
[1] The Bill Gates interview starts at 10:10 https://archive.org/details/the-famous-computer-cafe-1984-11...

#4In the episode with Joel Berez (Infocom) [1], he says people spent years trying to solve Zork. Imagine saying that about a modern game.

#5Timothy Leary said PCs are the LSD of the 1990s. If that’s true, then AI is definitely the LSD of the 2020s.
