Halt and Catch Fire Gets the ’80s PC Revolution Perfectly Right. Here’s How.
Great show.
What stood out to me the most was how, for seven or eight episodes, Cameron was trying to beg, borrow, and steal (384 K extra!!!) to create a very, very basic "interaction" model OS, and… in one of the last episodes, they show the Mac.
It, as much as anything I'd previously seen or experienced, drove home the point about just how far the Mac advanced the world of personal computing.
Wow.
