Triumph of the Nerds is great. Hopefully Cringley will make a version for this decade about Web empires.

He did make "Nerds 2.0" about the first web boom. Sadly, this has never been released on vhs/dvd.

It has been released on the Intertubes apparently: http://www.torrentbox.com/torrent_details?id=29078&filel...

Sadly I tried to download this a while ago and it turned out to be fake... its another (not-so-interesting) documentary on the internet.

This one seems to be the real deal, I'm downloading it now, and I saw Robert X. Cringely in the preview.

Evidently there is VHS / DVD out there. Didn't find anything streaming, but didn't look too hard. Mr Cringley was nice enough to point us in the right direction:
