There's a fantastic TV series, "Halt and Catch Fire," a period drama about the creation of modern day personal computing starting in the early 1980s. It is fictionalized and is supposed to be an amalgamation of the IBM "Compatible" and Compaq storylines, and is really well done.

Given how much many of us grew up with BBS'es and personal computers in the 1980s, this show really hits home hard.  Highly recommended.  It was recently on Netflix, and is essentially equated to "Mad Men for PC Hackers."

Has anyone else here seen it? What do you think about the show?
