Saved the transcript for reading it over the weekend - it's a PBS show realized by Bob Cringely a while ago with and about Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Dan Bricklin, H. Edward Roberts and Steven Wozniak. 

"Designed for viewing by youngsters who can't imagine a world without laptops, their struggling parents, the experts, the wannabes, the confused and the unenlightened, TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS puts cyberspace in a social and historical context."

  1. quite a long while ago...
    Actually almost 10 years ago, a short while after the launch of Win95. The show is great in telling the stories of the beginnings of Apple, MS and Compaq. However it proves hilariously wrong regarding predictions of the future. I highly recommend it, both for the story and for the cool interviews with Woz and Jobs.
