Ok, I think we have a good narrated composition! It is still
Unlisted since there are a few more things to finalize/decide. But unless
we spot any major flaw in the rendering, this should be wrapped up over the
next day or so. There are a few somewhat subtle easter eggs added.

One question is: should this be set to "Yes it is for kids"? My
understanding is Enabling that prevents Comments being enabled, but I'm not
sure if there is any other benefit. But yes, this is NOT a documentary
and is intended more for a middle/high school audience.
Other decisions are things like final thumbnail and writing up the
Description, credits, etc.
And - recall - this wasn't intended as a "full history of computing", the
focus was on the 1970s. But there is a brief segment towards the end that
honors some pre-1970s work.
Also, this may be the only "history of personal computer" related video
that doesn't mention the word Gates or Wozniak [ that wasn't exactly
intentional! ;) actually the original intent was to avoid any names at all,
it wasn't a biography - but a few do end up mentioned ]
Thanks for all the feedback and criticism - it won't be perfect for
everyone, but I think it is far better than what we started with. My
"technical review team" has included:
Dennis Roberson (SCAMP/IBM 5100 lead engineer)
Dan Bricklin (VisiCalc)
Scott Adams (Adventure and many other games)
Ken Williams (Sierra OnLine)
