Just started watching "Halt and Catch Fire" on Netflix.


Jan 15, 2021, 5:16 PM

It came out in 2014, so I'm a little late to the party on this one. It's about the early personal computer days in the 80s when the IBM PC came out with its dual floppy drives and competitors like Compaq were racing to create compatibles and luggables to capitalize on the potential. I was working at Computerland in Hilton Head selling them at the time, so it is all very familiar to me.

We've watched about 7 episodes in the last week and so far it is very good. 2 Thumbs Up.

A friend and I played on her father's homemade PC in '68.
