    I'd heard about that. :( It was sad to hear. I remember watching Computer Chronicoes sometimes in the late 80s and early 90s. And I've recently watched some of the episodes that are posted on YouTube.
    Those were interesting times for computers.

    It was interesting to see how LAN-based everything was when they started
    out - Lots of suits, lots of old company names and lots of marketing for enterprise applications.

    Later, they caught onto the internet and started interviewing Microsoft,
    Sun, SGI people.
