The first season is semi-accurate if you just replace Compaq with their company. But it quickly goes off the rails.

- SquareWheel 8mo agoMany people will likely be watching this show for the first time based on this thread. Please don't spoil major plot events for them.
- _boffin_ 8mo agoThis thread is already filled with spoilers, so it feels odd that you're singling mine out and especially given how long the show's been out.
- icedchai 8mo agoS2 was super fun though. The BBS period brought back nostalgia.
- cestith 8mo agoOf course Compaq was Houston rather than DFW. The case design for the first portable was scribbled on the back of a paper placemat at the House of Pies diner on Westheimer. They still could have had Donna working at TI, which has a presence there.
