Jay Miner - not merely a hardware genius, but willing to *mortgage his house* to buy time for the project, let alone see it complete. That's love - and it's sad that the industry venerates people like Gates and Jobs who were far more ruthless, while Jay and the team remain known to only a few.
You know, this is true. I'm working on Android development, and I've run into some snags, and felt like giving up, til I saw this video (again) and remembered what it was like back then...
The moustachioed one in the JJ walker dynomite shirt is really really good on stage, thanks!

@qix77 Check out the "The Deathbed vigil" documentary by Dave Haynie.
2 hours of documentary covering the last days of Commodore's Westchester plant.
Heres a trailer. Just add the 'w' where needed for a look at a 12 minute trailer for it:

The CDTV is one of the coolest looking computers ever created, and *was* the coolest looking computer at the time of its creation.
