Yeah, the preview was great (thanks for sharing the videos). But if you happen to attend the 'official presentation' (I thought you said you would), then a recap, after-the-fact would be nice. If you're anything like me, hind-sight is 20/20

From www.computerhistory.org/events/upcoming/#growing-8-bit-generation -- The documentary "Growing the 8 Bit Generation," produced by the 8bit Generation Project, focuses on the Commodore 64’s role in the home computer explosion and the personal computer revolution.

The 8bit Generation Project is a labor of love and takes its name from the 8-bit microprocessor popular in machines from the early 1970s to the end of the 1980s. The 8-bit generation was characterized by young entrepreneurs, engineers, visionaries, dreamers, and geniuses who wanted to change their lives and ended up changing the world. Executive Producer Bruno Grampa will join Museum CEO John Hollar for a fireside chat and audience Q&A.

Just a bit of trivia. Near the end of the film, CBM engineer Bil Herd is shown holding a motherboard from a flat C128, though no mention is made of the Commodore 128 during the film. The film ends with the C64 and Jack Tramiel leaving CBM, thus leaving out any computers after Tramiel's departure, like the Plus/4 and the C128.
