- JKCalhoun 3y agoHe's funny, he's knowledgeable, he writes well, he was there during the most entertaining span of decades for the personal computer. BTW, if you ever caught Cringely's PBS series where he tried to make a homebuilt aircraft it was a fascinating case study of hubris (Cringley's), modern construction vs. tried and true techniques, and another rare example of when a documentary that starts out about one thing decides to take on a life of its own and ends up going somewhere else. Edit: looks like someone digitized their VHS copy of "Plane Crazy" and kindly uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/FSNzF-KSGiw?si=2bK0aycpGpEzbydI https://youtu.be/FSNzF-KSGiw?si=2bK0aycpGpEzbydI
