Love this show. I was hoping for a third season, but it doesn't look likely. Its a shame. I started in computers in 1979 and lived this time period in my career. Believe me, it WAS very much like this. Technology was exploding in the 80's and I witnessed all this come about, including the cut-throat moves of businesses, particularly, IBM, Microsoft, Atari, Commodore (yes I said Atari), Compaq, Apple, and many many other smaller companies that no longer exist. It was a revolution in the computer industry, going from Unix based mainframe type computers to independent PCs. It changed the landscape of the day. It was an incredible time and this show allows me to relive this time in our history. Back when us "techs" performed component level board repairs. Don't see that anymore either.
Yes, the second season seemed to have less direction then the first, but guess what....so did we. There was so much going on and so many new choices it was hard to choose the right path. Remember, there was no standard at the time. This show was one of my favorites and has a lot of potential.
