Triumph of the Nerds

Just finished watching the documentary. Though they spend a lot of focus on Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Paul Allen and Bill Gates, as they are the four most widely known individuals in the personal computer field. However, a great deal of time is also spent in explaining the role of others, which was great. I didn't know how many people were involved in the development of the computer. 
Though it sucks that the inventors of the spreadsheet did receive the amount of money they deserve, I'm glad to learn they are some what happy still. Don't think I would be able to look pass missing out on millions of dollars.
I love the fact (though I already knew it from reading books on Steve Jobs) that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have been  taking ideas from others and turning them into billion dollar products. While Gates keeps his intensity under wraps in public, not so with Steve Jobs. Towards the end of the video, he describes his feelings towards Microsoft. 








LOVED IT.
