    Nice

    The show gave due to Apple and Xerox and avoided any of the common negative characterizations that characterize the "platform wars". Woz was on hand to say he didn't really think Microsoft stole the GUI... probably better go to woz.org for more on that since I'm sure his comments will be dissected there. Anyway, the final image of The History Channel's program was an Apple-supplied beauty shot of a Flower Power iMac. Apple should be happy.

    Modern Marvels

    I caught half the show. It was an "episode"... er, "issue"... er, "hour" ... yeah, "hour" of the Modern Marvels series, which IMHO is one of the best things on TV these days.

    I don't know when they're going to re-air the hour. Note that http://www.historychannel.com has [b]two[/b] eps of "Modern Marvels" having to do with computers. Last night's ep appears to be the one titled "Computers", with a previous ep titled "The Creation of the Computer".
