It`s not just me, is it?

Downloaded Pirates Of Silicon Valley the other day.  Good show, but not a single mention of CBM or the Amiga.  Also, this film backs up the famous theory that "There is nothing nasty about Bill Gates, and nothing nice about Steve Jobs."

Also, watched Micro Men on BBC Four yesterday.  One of the guys from Acorn Computer actually said "We need to keep advertising like IBM and Commodore".  Weren't Commodore almost infamous for not advertising?  Again, no mention about the Amiga, even though they did really well in the UK.

Has there ever been a credible documentary made about computing (including the Amiga)?

Deathbed Vigil doesn't count :)

Well Commodore did advertise, but they did it in places that didnt help get new users on the system or share it outside of the circle of people using them. Whats the point if putting huge ads in Amiga publications? Things like that.
