I'd suggest a viewing of Cringley's Triumph of the Nerds at a TriLUG even to give everyone a good feel for personal computing history but we've been down that path once back about three years ago and it was decided that:
1. even though the credits clearly state it could be shown for educational purposes that A. meetings for TriLUG are advertised and open to the public B. nobody was sure if a public showing would be legal (Cringley himself responded to an e-mail stating "go ahead and show it" but he was on the copyright holder so permission was not his to give. Bummer. If you haven't seen Triumph of the Nerds I highly recommend seeing it. Screenshots of the Xerox Alto and insider shots of PARC are worth it alone but the gem, for me, were interviews with the ALTAIR creators and the IBM Project Managers that created the XP. The Mac stuff was really cool too, but everyone kind of "knows" Woz and Jobs.
