[three of three] 4/6
This film chronicles the rise of the personal computer/home computer beginning in the 1970s with the Altair 8800, Apple II and VisiCalc. It continues through the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh revolution through the 1980s and the mid 1990s at the beginning of the Dot-com boom. It includes interviews with Apple Computer's Steve Jobs and Microsoft's Bill Gates.

This three-part film first premiered on PBS in June 1996.

  • "What can I say? I hired the wrong guy."

    This is one of the greatest quotes ever.

  • When Apple gave the demo introducing the Macintosh, they created and installed extra RAM. People who bought the original Macintosh couldn't do the things that were shown in that demo - or at least not as quickly.

  • @MrTEHCOMEDIAN And Jobs didn't even start pixar, he just invested a lot of money in it. The vision came from ed catmull and the hard work and creativity came from john lasseter and the rest of the design team. Jobs is a brilliant businessman but he never created a damn thing himself. He just rode on the backs of true artists and geniuses.

  • @MrTEHCOMEDIAN I agree.

  • @freshsprout He was no genius - just an opportunist and a thief.

  • @TangoR34 whatever. Jobs was a fucktard - and Macs are overrated and overpriced.

  • @MrTEHCOMEDIAN I have a Macintosh and Windows....

    I tried to troll and make it sound as stupid as your 1st statement. I guess I've piss you off.

  • @TangoR34 How the fuck do you "use a Mac properly" - what, its a fucking car or something retard? Your statement just reinforces my theory that macs are for idiots that re unable to use a real computer.

    Enjoy using your overpriced piece of shit and waiting in line for repairs.....

    And yeah, Jobs STARTED Pixar but the major decisions were done by others (with Jobs once again stealing credit)

  • @MrTEHCOMEDIAN Says a guy who hasn't used a Mac properly at all. He probably doesn't even know who created Toy Story, Cars and all the Pixar animation movies today.

  • The Macintosh was and is a toy.

    It never works right, is overpriced and basically its sole use is for people that are unable to use a real computer.

    As for Jobs - fuck him. He's an overrated asshole.

  • @freshsprout I have yet to understand why i should buy an iPad, it's too big for a phone and not as good as a laptop.
