From the wonderful Jason Scott, now of the Internet Archive. I wonder if this post of the documentary on youtube is alright with him? (I guess it's been on youtube for quite some time.)

IIRC, the "originals" are available on a dedicated site by Jason Scott, and I'm told if his name is typed three times on HN he appears . . .

Itself a great callback to the days of the perpetually feisty Derek Smart!

Love the documentary, and met some of the folks in real life. Worth watching, if you lived the bbs days, or you're just interested in computer history.
