The website claims it was recorded in 2006 which I have a slightly hard time believing.

  It's from 1996: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Nerds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Nerds

    Crazy to think that in 1986 Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were already considered to have triumphed. In hindsight, they had only just taken their first few baby steps in business!

      Seems like you have misread. It's 1996 not 1986 :) But the 1990s were the most intense with OSes getting better GUIs and computers getting cheaper (actually getting more personal) :)
      - johnyzee 18y ago
        Gah. :) But the going's been good since 1996 too.
