The movie is all about the growth of the PC (personal computer) industry, and it is based on historical fact. The story begins with IBM in the early 1980's. The movie illustrates the detailed history of Apple, from a manufacturer of the first color PCs to one of the biggest personal computer companies to the giant taken down by the people that helped build it up. It also shows how Apple grabbed the idea of the GUI from Xerox, how Microsoft got the first DOS from someone else, and how Microsoft started making its own interfaces. The movie illustrates the making of the technology we are using today. It also featured there the hardships they encounter. It made me realized how lucky we are to have such technologies. I find the movie a bit boring in some scenes, but it’s nice to have movies like this that let the viewers know what really happened in that time.
