Video: Computer Chronicles on diagnostic software (1992)

Bill Dewald writes: "Thanks to the nostalgia trip induced by the Dork Yearbook, I've been enjoying this program. I think you might, too." Computer Chronicles has been made possible in part by the Software Publishers Association, provider of educational materials to help manage software. "Don't copy that floppy!"

From the Archive.org page:

Remember IRQ settings, INITs, TSRs and "out of memory" messages? The early days of personal computers were confusing for most users and so a whole new category of software grew up around solving those problems - diagnostic software. This show looks at several examples including WinSleuth, Quarterdeck's Manifest, QEMM, Mac EKG 2.0, Snooper, QA Plus, and Norton Utilities. Originally broadcast in 1992.
