This review is on a Macintosh documentary that we watched in class. In my unprofessional opinion, it was an excellent piece of work. It was very informative, starting at the first apple computer and how it grew. Then how they fared against the competitors. The software writers talked about how hard it was to come out with programs or how certain programs or effects came to exist. Like the sound that a Mac makes when you turn it on. It also talks about the first people that started the company, like Steve Wozniak or Ron Wayne. Though it is very informative, you hear disgruntled coders and deranged collectors that kind of makes it funny. There was one point were Jim Reekes said that the apple company "is like a sausage factory, you don’t wanna know what happens". Over all, I give it a eight out of ten on the awesome 'O' meter.

  1. Your review mentioned several people that contributed to the growth of Apple, but I noticed that you didn't talk about Steve Jobs even once. I think that Jobs was one of the main parts of the documentary. Your review completely skips over Steve Jobs' role, therefore retaining important information from your readers. I suggest that you go back and add some more information.
