Cringely made me cringe!!! Well, finally saw the PBS show. I can understand why everyone was gagging over it. A few random thoughts... That trip down memory lane at the beginning was way overdone. Can't imagine it holding any audience that might have tuned in. Bit disconcerting to see Grace Hopper featured. Used to work down the hall from her in the basement of the Pentagon near the infamous purple water fountain. When talking about shortages of data storage, Cringely said that 1K equals 1024 bits, not once but twice,... Maybe no one even saw the show today. I nearly missed it. Today, all the on-line TV schedules I checked were an hour off due to the change to standard time. I remember they were screwed up in the spring, too. Enough to turn me into a doomer--if technology cannot handle daylight savings time, how will it ever handle Y2K, <g> Karen
