  1. I can understand breaking this up to manageable segments. You have a multi-camera recording, the context is there, the responses seem intact.

    Sure we in the wide net audience didn’t pay to go see it live. you cover that expense by running the HP ad, fine I suppose. I wonder about the ego gratification in this testament. You have a documentary that the future will look at and clearly see the bottom line of the times. How big is that? They were fiscally responsible but socially betting on the same selfish presumption that afflicts the terminally unique leaders of “market” driven economics; it is too complicated to create real change honestly. They did what was best for them self, as the tangible beneficiaries of (hopefully, because it was all on a bet) ‘peoples best work.’ None the less they personally are the beneficiaries.

  2. Hi everyone, It was a great beginning. As it is recalled in this first part of the video, it’s amazing how the technology has evolved from the 128K to the current Gigs and Teras… in less than 50 years.

    Let’s thank Bill and Steve for their contribution to the IT World.

    It was great the joke about the ship in the las minute of this video. I hope more debate in the next parts.

    regards

  3. Steve Jobbs and Bill Gates can do better if they collaborate.

    When you take the market share, both Apple and Microsoft holds a major share. They can really make a revolution together.
