Bits And Bytes

Bits and Bytes was a 1983 Canadian television series that taught the basics of how to use home computers. Starring Luba Goy and Billy Van, the show had a quite unique feel and likable presentation among it’s cast. Also featuring small information and news style segments, the show proves to be just as informative now as it was in 1983, albeit computing today from the end-user standpoint is much simpler.

There was also a 1991 version, which I may address in the future.
