@ajsadauskas@mastodon.social @retrogaming I have now watched the video. In short, is accurate - essentially nothing that I would say was wrong or misleading.

The internal nickname for the computer in a book was "chook in a book" because Owen had apparently pointed to a corn flakes packet for the size.
