Vintage Computing Group Presents: Triumph of the Nerds
Before billion-dollar empires, there were blinking lights, homemade circuit boards, and hobbyists trying to impress their friends.

Join the Vintage Computing Group for “Triumph of the Nerds”, a documentary of the Personal Computer revolution told by the people who made it happen: includes Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Paul Allen.
