Hi! I’m Al, and I’m a geek!

Hi, I’m Al, and I run a YouTube channel called Al’s Geek Lab. I pop out videos of unique content including retro goodness – stuff like putting ancient computers on the Internet and playing classic games. Also, there’s some great documentaries & more!

Highlights include:

• Back to the BBS, a really successful documentary on the Bulliten Board Systems of the pre-internet era, and the fact that you can actually use them today over the Internet… and they are amazing! This is an 8-part docu-series including everything from what a BBS is, why you’d like them, games, mods, privacy on a BBS vs the Internet, ANSI art, Warez/Hacking and the demoscene

• IBM and the PC: Why the PC came to be. The whole documentary!

• Gary Kildall: The man that should have been Bill Gates.

• Top 10 Games of the first decade of the PC - from 1981 to 1991, a ten part mini-series of reviews and fun.

• Much more!
