I snoozed to the first episode of a series about the cold war era last night.
I highly recommend 8-Bit Generation. Many legends of the home computer revolution were interviewed:
Jack Tramiel, founder of Commodore who later bought Atari, and his son Leonard.
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and designer of the Apple II.
Nolan Bushnell, co-founder of Atari.
Chuck Peddle, designer of the acclaimed MOS 6502 microprocessor that powered the Apple II, Commodore VIC-20 and 64, and Atari 400 and 800 computers, among many others.
Bill Herd, designer of the Commodore 64.
Chris Curry, co-founder of Acorn.
Jeff Minter, creator of many classic video games and founder of Llamasoft.
John Roach, the Tandy executive responsible for the TRS-80.
The true story is far more gripping than the contrived and often incongruent scenarios in the fictionalized tale of the home computer revolution, Halt and Catch Fire.
