Wow, I can't remember any other time where something generated this many
messages.  I surf/scan dozens of computer groups, and almost everyone of
them has talked about this show - either miffed people off royally, or
they loved it.  So far, it seems everyone thinks the show consisted of
the following opinions:

  a:Steve Jobs is God and created the world as we know it.
  b:Bill Gates stole the world as we know it.
  c:IBM was a bunch of conservative old fools who let the world be stolen.
  d:Zerox was a bunch of really old, really conservative, and really
    stoopid old fools who didn't even realize there was a world to be
    stolen.

And of course the atari, commodore, amiga and other old computer
platform people are really ticked that the show even failed to mention
their name.

Fun stuff.
