An interesting video with interviews of the early pioneers; phone phreaking and the birth of personal computers.

That video was really cool. The phone 'phreaking' is extremely interesting.

I love stuff like this. I started selling computers in 1982 - the Olivetti M-16 offered by an Olivetti typewriter dealer. In 1983 a public television series The Computer Chronicles http://www.archive.org/details/computerchronicles aired and helped me get a bigger perspective of what was happening in the industry. Cutting edge, man!
