Anyone else watching this cool, new series about the early days of the home PC market? I like it a lot so far. Really takes me back.

I remember learning about the "HCF" instruction in cmouter engineering class. Kind of like the computer corollary to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge,

As a fan of home computers from when 4k of RAM was an upgrade, I'll definitely have to check this out!

Anyone else watching this?  It's really gotten to be a cool and fun series - especially for us computer nerds.

Nope. But I've heard some good things.

Just finished the first season of Silicon Valley, it was great, super funny, and best thing about it...SHORT!  Eight half hour episodes.  I'll give this show a try, sounds cool.

YEs, a 30 minute show can be great - especially for catching up.
