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

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

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

I've only seen part of the first episode.  I've been meaning to keep watching it.
