It's a great series, and whenever someone mentions something about PC's from the 80's and 90's I always refer to the archive.org page. I think I've downloaded most of the episodes available, and do remember being amazed at even back in '82, they were able to do 256 color graphics (albeit with $20K machines). Retro Tech FTW (imagine d/l that through BBS @ 1400 baud :P) I remember stumbling on Computer Chronicles at Archive.org a few years ago, and was instantly transported into a world of nostalgia and computer history.

The justification of theft was amazing, breaking the law for 'review' copies. Notice how Mr. Mouse didn't tell them that they tossed the software. And how Mr. Mouse showed the source code as if it was cake on a wedding day present. There is no answer to morality, other than Man's law. In the end it all fails, and we end up with pirated birthday presents to show for our hard day at work. I found it the hair style pretty hillarious.
