Rodgers) about competing against tech giant Microsoft, which was then engaged in a fight with the U.S. government over the company's hold on the software market.

    At this time, Apple was trying to raise its head from bankruptcy, Google was just a little project running in a bunch of CPUs and Elon Musk was just another guy in the room…

    This is one of the greatest television news packages I've ever seen. This is a 7 minute masterpiece.

    I miss that old tech look of everything. Now, they've gotten a lot more sophisticated and better looking and I've gotten gray and old. 😥

    It always amazes me that older Elon has more hair than younger Elon.
  • @SaidThoughts
    The difference between 90s News Reporting and modern News Reporting. There was no ideology pushing, no talks of racism, or hate. Just purely reporting.
  • @KelticTim
    This was back when the media hated Gates and was just starting to love Elon. Oh how things have changed.
  • @paullombard00
    I think this Musk kid has potential. Keep going kid, you can go far.
  • @real1muzik
    Modern history is pretty interesting to consume. Its the ultimate "How it started, How its going".

    Zip2 was sold to HP, it never earned a single dollar in profit and was ultimately scrapped.

    3:07 I tend to forget that the navigation bar took up damn near 1/4 of the screen back then lol.

    A few things I got from this video--everyone had bad hair in the nineties (myself included), "Micro Soft" sounds weird and Quake had a low frame rate back then but seemed like it didn't...

    The word "genius" is so diluted when popstars and comedians are called genius, but there is something so interesting about people who really deserve the name.
