Step back into the early 1990s personal computer boom with Komputer Tutor: Komputer Kindergarten - Tape 1, a rare instructional VHS training tape covering computer basics, MS-DOS 6.0, and early Microsoft Windows usage hosted by technology educator Kim Komando.
Originally distributed during the transition from Microsoft DOS-based computing to graphical Windows environments, this tape provides a fascinating snapshot of how new users were introduced to personal computing during the early multimedia era.
This vintage training program introduces foundational topics including:
Along the way, it also explores digital literacy concepts designed for beginners entering the world of home computing for the first time.
The video also highlights the educational style and presentation methods commonly used in early 1990s computer training materials and VHS-based technology instruction.
For historical preservation purposes, this original VHS tape was digitized using my Panasonic DMR-ES46V DVD recorder and archived in 720p to preserve an interesting piece of MS-DOS, Windows, and computer education history.
Before becoming a nationally syndicated technology radio host and media personality, Kim Komando played a major role in helping everyday users understand rapidly evolving consumer technology during the DOS and Windows era.
