Actually, I don't know if this exists. I'd like to produce it though, so I'm looking around to see if there is any interest in seeing such a video. Would you watch it if it showed up on HBO, or NOVA, or the Discovery Channel?

Please produce for Nova/PBS; I don't subscribe to a cable service.

I'm going to venture a guess that practically everyone here would enjoy something like that. Any time I hear the word "Linux" on TV (which is very, very seldom) my ears perk up.

I've been sending out proposals already, and have gotten some replies. I think it would be of interest to anyone who uses a computer, but I tend to have a higher interest than the general public when it comes to computers, so I'm afraid I'm biased. There have been a mountain of reports in journals and news magazines, like Time, Wired, etc., but I have yet to see anything on television. US news seems to have no real interest yet, so I'm hoping to get the jump on them.
