Lightbulb About Download: the true story of the Internet...

Guys. When is the show aired on Discovery channel? Download : The true story of the Internet?

Is it a series or just a single episode? I guess I missed it..

If one was aired and I missed it; what was talked about in it? Just give me a few topics on which the documentary was based. Please dont direct me towards Youtube or torrents, im on dial-up.

IronMan.

So guess I missed one episode Monday; that is yesterday.

According to what Ive found out from the web; This one is a series and in work since last 1-1.5 years. It talks about how a geek hobby turned into an everyday necessity, something taken for granted. People from founders of all major companies like Yahoo, Google, eBay, etc will be there. We'll have information about initial controversies, competitive jealousy, etc. Too bad I missed it...
Lets see how good it turns out to be.

Meanwhile I will be keeping an eye for the repeat telecast timings. Any of you guys know about it?

too theatrical and overly dramatic - Search enigne episode was watchable, browser war was downright Govinda-style clownish

the host can easily land a job as anchor of the world's wildest police vdoz
