One of the best Docu i have seen in a long time. If you are a computer geek or not this is just amazing to see how it all began.

Even though I don't work in technology, I found General Magic to be an incredibly moving story about failure and wanting to change the world. I walked away feeling very inspired and wanting to watch the film again. The 90s nostalgia was so fun and it was amazing to see these enthusiastic smart young people who went on to literally change all of our lives. Besides the topic, it was a really well made documentary as well. You'll be hooked by the first minute.
