Re: Pirates of Silicon Valley

I agree.  It was rather anti-Apple.  Maybe The Master of
Evil himself (Gates) had a behind the scenes roll in it.
At any rate, it was a pretty one sided story.  Did enjoy
seeing all of the old hardware though.  I thought I saw
an Apple III in the last half.  It was in the background,
so maybe I was wrong.  Did anyone else see an A III?
Speaking of the Apple III, a friend of mine could
have got one with a bad monitor this weekend for $30.00!
I told him if he ever sees another at that price to get
it for me!
