Robert "X" Cringley does an "X"cellent job in this documentary!! From the historical footage to more modern interviews, Triumph of the Nerds is an excellent film for any silicon valley junky like myself. Never have I have see such a work of wonder in a movie.
"Reality Police!" Robert "X" Cringley referring to Bill Gates in Triump of the Nerds.
I actually found it at my local library.
shareWhere can i download this?!
i'm dying to watch this, help!
Ever heard of not pirating videos? Take yourself to a Blockbuster or Movie Gallery and rent it.
shareOh come on now.
I doubt any video store has it.
Also Nerds 2.0.1 was never released on dvd and video rental stores don't do VHS now days.
There is a remote chance a library could have the VHS but the odds are slim.
I bought Nerds 2.0.1 from Amazon that was a library rental and fortunately the 3 tapes looked and played like new and I was able to transfer them to dvds so those old tapes will remain in un-played condition forever.
It was great documentary to watch.No question about it.
shareI recommend it when ever possible but it's impossible to convey
how well done it is and fun to watch.
I lost count on how many times I've watched it.
It's a shame few people know about the 1998 sequel
'Nerds 2.0.1 History of the Internet' (never released on dvd.
Arguably better than the first series.
It's 30 min longer and little time is spent on Apple or Microsoft.
The number of key people Bob knew personalty and was able
to interview is nothing short of amazing.
The interviews with Sandy Lerner & Len Bosack, Marc Andreessen,
John McAfee, Bill Joy, Jim Clark, Larry Ellison, just to name a few are priceless.
And his short chat with Ted Nelson is a riot!
