@KevEdwardsRetro @peter it’s a great watch and amazing that it brought such a revolution in home computing.
I remember when my school got our first BBC Micro. Amazing times. Saved to watch another time.
@KevEdwardsRetro I love this and have watched it so many times. I have no idea what's true or not but I love the cutting of the wire on the prototype sequence!
I think it's on YouTube somewhere a video commentary from a couple of the real people. Hang on, can't leave you hanging like that ...
Here you go :
Micro Men - 10th Anniversary - With Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser
@KevEdwardsRetro Ooh! I totally forgot this existed! Never did get around to watching it. Thanks for the reminder!
Might I recommend Halt and Catch Fire in return? It's definitely got its flaws, and it didn't get a chance to try for a third season once it ironed them out, but the set and setting are so perfect if you're into that era of computing.
@KevEdwardsRetro there is a really great commentary by Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser. They comment on the events and accuracy to reality (there isn't much).
