I watched the first episode. It?s a pretty neat representation (with
significant artistic license) of the beginnings of developing an IBM-PC
clone, pulling items from the founding of Compaq (the founders of which
all came from TI?the wife of one of the characters works at TI) . It will
be interesting to see the other episodes and if I can pick out what facet
of early computing lore they are re-telling.

In fact if you live in the U.S. you can see the first episode apparently
(I
can't here in NZ...it's blocked).

Anyway, I thought some of this list might not be aware of it and might
find
it interesting.
Will it inspire more people to take a look at earlier personal computing
history I wonder?
