Silicon Cowboys (2016)

Launched in 1982 by three friends in a Houston diner, Compaq Computer set out to build a portable PC to take on IBM, the world's most powerful tech company. Many had tried cloning the industry leader's code, only to be trounced by IBM and its high-priced lawyers. Explore the remarkable David vs. Goliath story, and eventual demise, of Compaq, an unlikely upstart who altered the future of computing and helped shape the world as we know it today.

Director Cohen, whose “Facing Fear” was among the 2014 Oscar nominees for documentary short, lends this classic David versus Goliath story a playfully retro feel.

La verdadera historia de la PC portÃ¡til

Ken Jaworowski 14 Sep 2016

Silicon Cowboys prizes the human drama behind business events, much as in “The Social Network” or “Steve Jobs.” Those films, too, pretended that technology was the star. But they knew that people were the real story.

1/19/17 Netflix DVD A fascinating look at the PC industry in general and Compaq in particular. It is absolutely amazing how much has happened in 35 years. From a 27 pound portable PC to 100 times the computing power in your hand held phone today. It is also eye opening how many companies were in the business in the early 800's who are no longer around in the business from giants like IBM and Compaq to Tandy, Radio Shack, Commodore and others. Lastly, is was really interesting to watch the life and death of a major company that started with 3 guys and an idea to 1000's of employees and billions of dollar and the issues that creates. Very well done.

Recommended for all computer or technology nerds. Even though, or probably because, I was growing up when this was occurring, I wasn't familiar with the impact Compaq had on the computing industry.
