STORY:
*This tech-world biopic traces the fortunes of personal-computer companies Apple and Microsoft from their obscure dorm-room and backyard origins to their very public battle for corporate supremacy.
*Based on the Book: "Fire on the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer"
*Berkeley 1971 - The scene cuts to the University of Berkley campus, 1971, amidst a tear gas and students rioting, a young Jobs and Wozniak dash to safety.
*Harvard University 1974 - Bill Gates's story starts when he is a Harvard student more interested in poker than classes. However, for Bill and his friend Paul Allen, there is one thing more important than poker or even Playboys, and that is, of course, computers. In following an ad in a trade magazine with some fast talking by Bill, and their collective genius, Bill and Paul are hired to start writing a program language for the new ALTAIR computer.
*Berkeley 1976 (Homebrew Computer Lab) -  Jobs and Woz unveil their latest computer. It is obvious that while it is Wozniak's genius that built the computer, it was Jobs' genius that sells it.
*Albuquerque 1976 - Bill and Paul had quit Harvard and Bill's fast talking at the computer company MITS (maker of the ALTAIR) earned them a signing bonus and a double in royalties for their BASIC programming language, with that, Microsoft is born. It is during these years in Albuquerque, fueled by his own manic personality that Bill does everything from having a midnight race with bulldozers, to racking up so many speeding tickets that he is arrested and jailed.
*Albuquerque 1977 - Microsoft's First Office
*Computer Faire in San Francisco 1977 - Apple Computers Inc. was the star of the Fair
*Microsoft Offices Seattle in 1980
*All-one Commune Oregon
*Xerox Palo-Alto Research Center - Apple “steals” the mouse as well as the graphics from XEROX.
*3 Mos. later, John Sculley fired Steve Jobs
*Steve Wozniak teaches computer in children
*Bill Gates is currently the World's Most Wealthiest Man
*Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and he finally accept Lisa as his daughter in his new family

  1. Just wanna say a big thank you Neme Amber for introducing me to Dr Emmanuel the great HERBALIST that helped me prepare home remedies that cured my herpes (HSV 2).
    I was infected with HSV 2 for the past two years and i was unable to get a better job cos all the company i was to get employed checked our blood test and found out that i was positive to GENITAL HERPES and i loosed employment.
    So i was desperate to get a cure so that i can live normal and get my job training.
    i earlier made some research and i contacted some doctors online but they keep on asking for money for courier after that they'll tell you that tax and so more so i became broke and frustrated.
    One day i was less busy so i decided to make latest research on herpes cure and i found a site  were everyone was talking about DR Emmanuel and herbs ability to cure herpes.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
