Wait wait you guys are saying this is becoming watchable? I loved the concept but for now it was fairly insufferable.

Thing is, I'm really into the MacGuffin and the first episodes annoyed me to no end. I'm not really disagreeing with you, but I hated the first few in spite of the computer talk, not because of.

Cameron's the worst Manic Pixie Girl, and she can do Computer Wizardry.

I'm somehow bothered whenever they try to sell the thing as basically Apple in 2014 plus Apple in 1994, rather than Compaq or Columbia Data Products in 1982. Look, even though it's the 1980s, we have our own Siri, and we want our first computer to actually be a laptop, and it will weigh less than a fridge, and have color and everything! I vaguely remember computers from the late 80s, and they really didn't feel like what Cameron keeps promising. And her operating system looks like Bob. Maybe I should not expect this to be a documentary. But really, the spirit they're presenting feels a lot more like the alternatives to the IBM PC - Commodore, Apple, Acorn - than like the vision behind the IBM compatibles.

Worst of all, the premise was really good.
