There was a video posted to these threads a while back comemorating Linux's history. I have searched both Google and the forums for it and am unable to do so. I was wondering if someone would mind reposting the video. Thanks guys.

That one's only 4 minutes long. I'm wanting one which is over an hour long.

Yeah, that's it. I'm doing a introductory to computers course for seniors and it's going to take them through the entire history of computers to ending with computer coding.

I'm basically wanting them to understand that a computer is a tool and not a big super brain. Then I'm going to challenge them to use their brains to figure the tool out.

To the OP, if you really like the movie I'd suggest buying a copy so JTS Moore and the other folks who created it will get alittle in return for such an amazing movie. Also I'd love to see a sequel now that the original movie is 10 years old.

I downloaded it for better picture quality, to save Google bandwidth, and for offline viewing. None the less, the bar's gone.

Believe me, I would. I just don't have the funds to do so currently. WINE just started supporting my first computer language again, so I may start developing a little more naturally now and make some money. Anyways, I love the film. It would be great for a sequel to happen.
