We’re proud to bring you this classic film of the beginnings of our industry.

Pablo Picasso said “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.” Come and learn, if you don’t already know the history, how those words bare testimony to the industry which we love.

Thought you’re a fundi on the history? Ever heard of the Seattle Computer Company? Ed Robert of MITS? QDOS, the precursor of Microsoft’s PC-DOS? Or its original author, Tim Patterson? These are just some of the names that are mentioned in the sidelines as the story of Gates vs. Jobs is unpacked from the perspective of Ballmer and Wozniak.

The film is highly entertaining and surprisingly accurately portrays the makings of these great companies, Apple Inc. and Microsoft. In the words of Steve Wozniak, ‘I thought it was the greatest way to portray the whole story because it was so entertaining’.

If you’re not yet convinced, then check out the trailer for the film here.
