I just came here to post that too, watched it a few days ago and it was interesting to see. For me the company was always just cheap cables in the electronic store and old computers at school.
I was not aware of the rich history of the company.

- CalChris 2y agoThe Macintosh had come out but I don't remember hearing about Jobs visiting. I read later that he met with Sottsass but he when was at Studio Olivetti. (Think meeting Jony Ive at LoveFrom rather than Apple). I remember Gates visited Ivrea. There was a printed list of restaurants with reviews by the expats. One was annotated that Gates had eaten there. It was pretty good. Gates saw Olivetti as a customer for his MSDOS. Jobs saw Sottsass+Olivetti as a design inspiration.
