Nice video - but the text timing is to short and impossible to read in the given time.

@UmpaEG agreed, the text is too fast unless you are a speed reader...

Nice compilation of the history of computers..

Interesting mix of what appears to be The Call of Ktulu!

[chrisinmainz]

I actually listened to it after your comment and didn't hear much similarity I assume you are talking about the Metallica song. The Ecstasy of gold is from the famous spaghetti western the good the bad and the ugly, the version in this video is taken from a remix CD of Ennio Morricone's (the composer) more prominent works. He's up there with Williams or Goldberg in my opinion and you should check him out, he has been working with Tarrantino recently..

The Magnavox Odyssey came out in 1972 and it was really just a "video game" console that flopped...
