   Yesterday, the one-hour, 39-minute documentary was released on-line for all   
   Kickstarter backers!  Wow!  Very professionally done!  It was great hearing   
   from Jack Tramiel, Lenard Tramiel, Chuck Peddle, Al Charpentier, Jeff Minter,   
   Bil Herd, Andy Finkel,    
   Michael Tomczyk, Steve Wozniak, and more.   
      
   The documentary began with the calculator age and then expanded to the KIM-1   
   followed by computer developments in Apple, Commodore, Tandy/Radio Shack,   
   Sinclair, and a little bit of Texas Instruments and Atari.  Most of the   
   emphasis was on Commodore with    
   lots of content on the PET, VIC-20, and C64 (but no mention of the Plus/4 and   
   C128, as those were post-Tramiel).   
      
   Technically, the sound balance was better than the preview, and Bil Herd gave   
   a forceful narration instead of the unknown British person in the preview.    
   However, I did catch three errors (!) with a video-editing placeholder which   
   read, "Narrator".  :)   
      
   Bonus -- there is a separate, 59-minute video entitled, "The Last Jack Tramiel   
   Interview".
