Halt and Catch Fire..

Season 3 has started, and I'm about 1/2 way through episode 2.  Lots and lots of C64s on the show, and even an Amiga mention by Boz in episode 1 (in the bar scene, before he tries to call his son).

i was about to mention that, boz said he wanted to hear more about that Amiga when he got back (from the phone call).

been watching since episode one, i love the show.  i also enjoy finding all the mistakes like cables not plugged in machines, parts and computers that dont work together.  like season one episode one where gordon and joe finally decide to reverse engineer the ibm pc, gordon desolders the bios on the pc motherboard but then show him removing the chips from installed 28 pin sockets, so he didnt really need to desolder anything.

still, love the show.  certain aspects take me back to my times in the 80s.

well episode three of season three just had the Amiga 1000 make two appearances!  season three is really getting good, much better than how season two started.

Joe mentioned the Amiga on last night's show.  Great stuff!

yeah ryan is using an amiga 1000 at joes apartment for coding and what not while they investigate the arpanet.

last nights episode was edgy and moody, season three is definitely becoming awesome.  cant believe we are halfway done with season three already.

i have loved the show since season one episode one.  sad that we get one more season but feel its for the better, love seeing commodore in the series, especially our beloved amiga.  maybe we will get a send off seeing the amiga 3000 in the final season, was pleasantly surprised seeing the next in the final season three episodes.

about the only major thing in the nineties was the networking and the final arrival of the internet.  the rest of the years only had processor and graphic card improvements and i dont see that making great television, so i am perfectly fine ending with season four.

i have gotten a few years entertainment from a show that follows my (and i am sure alot of you) time in the computer industry.  but i will miss the show after next year.  another show i loved was manhattan, but seems after two seasons, we have seen the last of it without any word from the makers.
