Yes, sort of. That is only the first 15 minutes. I assume PBS left that up as a teaser so people would pay for the subscription. The full video is about an hour and 20 minutes. On Tue, May 7, 2024 at 4:14 PM Charlie's Computers < charlies.retro.computing@gmail.com> wrote:

The title is "Silicon Valley", and is an episode of the PBS series, "American Experience". Below is the link to Prime.
This is an excellent history of Silicon Valley, focusing on one of the co-founders of Intel, Robert Noyce. I was reminded of this show when a friend and I were chatting a few weeks ago. I was surprised that he never heard of the "Traitorous Eight" who left Shockley Semiconductor to form Fairchild Semiconductor. I initially saw the documentary when it was free on broadcast TV, then again years later on YouTube, but it has apparently been taken down from free video streaming outlets. It seems that it is only available on Amazon Prime with the PBS Documentary subscription. I don't intend to pay for the subscription but got the free trial and re-watched the documentary a few times. I feel that it is definitely worthwhile. Let me know if you see/saw it and your thoughts, I think it would make for a good discussion.
