Yep, pretty good 3-part series, got it from Netflix 🙂. I'm surprised MR has mentioned it yet.
I think Robert Cringely's Triumph of the Nerds has been the best documentary on Apple, Silicon Valley, and the PC culture to date... and that is over 15 years old at this point.
Anything has to be better than that hastily put together exploitive piece of crap, iGenius, the Discovery channel made.

This should be interesting. It apparently includes an unreleased interview of Steve Jobs; it's not just other people talking about him.

I will watch it but I consider the title, "One Last Thing", to be rude.
If the universe is listening, I hope and suggest that Sony and Aaron Sorkin, do a three part big screen series. It will both monetize better and be a rare and well received long-form effort in a medium suitable for the high resolution like Steve Jobs led.
I want to see his workstation being used the right way. He bragged about it repeatedly to developers. He was right.
If my advise is taken I consider the probability of a revival of "West Wing" to be actually possible going forward. It needs a long form-factor series treatment too.

Episode 1: Blue Box through Intel Transition
Episode 2: Everywhere, to the end, and beyond
Episode 3: Steve Jobs, the prequel

Misses the mark
Understand that, but the word change veers off the mark a little too sharply for my tastes. A few more days of brainstorming would probably have helped them hit the mark. That's the way Steve would have approached it.
