I have to say, Cringley and his crew did a phenomenal job on this documentary. Afer seeing some other computer industry documentaries and biographies on Gates and Jobs, Triumph of the Nerds is on a whole other level of quality and integrity. The interpretation of events is, at times, dramatized to an annoying degree but this is great work that really gets down to the important elements of an industry that evolved so quickly.

@tutorialconr No, Altair from Star Trek. Ed Roberts was a hardcore Trekkie. =P

@sidearmsalpha They basically cover that in this one. I don't think Gates was ever an actual employee of MITS, but one of the first things Gates, Paul Allen and Microsoft did was write a version of BASIC and some other software for the Altair, and at the time they set up HQ in Albequerque so they could be close to MITS.
