Triumph of the Nerds

This show chronicles the rise of the personal computers starting with the Altair 8800 and using Macinstosh and PC computing as standards. It also covered IBM and Microsoft. This series looked like it went from the 1970s to the 1990s and it had interviews with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Cringley takes the viewer through the history of computing but also interjects personal stories into the show about how these ideas formed and what the outcomes were for the personal computing machine age.
