If anybody tried to order late yesterday, it seems Customflix.com was down for a few hours but it is back up now (great timing eh?). I agree with 'Canadiannerd', Andy Hertzfeld's book is fantastic for all Mac history fans.

Yes it was a little pricey. As far as the documentary was concerned here are my thoughts. It was more about Steve Jobs than about the valley. I found that a little annoying. But what do you expect when you interview Raskin, Woz and Kawasaki? I liked the interviews with John Warnock. But that went into Apple-land again. There should've been more on HP and Intel I think to truly bring out the Silicon in the Valley. At CDN 40 it was not worth the price I paid. The Triumph of the Nerds is a more balanced and comprehensive documentary. I bought this DVD and watched it. Yes it was a little pricey. As far as the documentary was concerned here are my thoughts.

Shipping outside the US is a little pricey (we have to pay the same for our own promo copies to be sent to the UK), but that's why we priced the DVD at $18, so that it's fairly competitive price-wise in the UK at least. For more about the content of the film, and how we went about making it... check out my interview with <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/in_search_of_the_valley.php" rel="nofollow">Read/WriteWeb</a>.

Also on registering on the site it will only allow numbers and letters in passwords. Not great to be honest. Would prefer a little more security when handing over my cc details.
