What a way for Joe to spoil the moment with Cameron but Joe following Gordon and his family to the cinema with his idea was a bold move but you can understand why Gordon was reluctant with him having a family to support, spending the whole weekend rewriting the boot code was impressive and reprogramming his daughters spell checker was nice

This has now been added to the flash site

Well it was good pilot it crazy to think IBM were market leaders when so many computer modal out here now but i agree manually rewriting the boot code was a very long process but his wife telling him it's Monday was priceless

Cameron sleeping on the job trying to make Joe's vision a reality while Gordon goes home was dedication but loosing 68% of their business going up against IBM was bound to make things awkward

Joe and John seeking the funds to make the new portable machine was understandable after loosing so much business and Donna solving the size at the kitchen table was impressive considering Gordon is supposed to be the expert but firing the guy after the crash was understandable as he has been nothing but a hindrance

Cooking the books was an amusing way to start and Joe's plan to get a story for the press was devious but putting Donna's own job on the line was terrible

Well it was risk they took trying take business from IBM but now they have no choice but follow it through.

Yes he really had tough choice firing all those people due loss of business but keep him on because he was their next door neighbour was wrong choice but he really didn't have a choice.

Well what Joe did to get publicity was crazy but Donna finding out he had back all along was smart and when she told her husband his reaction was the same as Joe . Glad he has someone point out ethics to him because Joe really shouldn't be his role model.

Cameron finding out what Donna thought of her was sad but almost going to their house and gaffti it was a close call thanks neigbour showing what she would be missing .

What a way for Cameron test the programmers with that game to decide which one to keep and it does look like it getting somewhere

bala

Well that one dedicated father willing to walk through a storm to get a doll for his daughter especially with amount pressure he has at his job . Cameron wanting to evolve the operating system to add command was ambitious i can't believe we take those granted .

I remember when we had to use commands to start a pc . Now we just switch on a button the computer automatically loads everything for us.

Cameron making the most of her new accommodation was amusing but not lasting long was predictable and Cameron using the games as a way to find the best programmers was clever
