it gives a little insight in UNIX and how things worked on PC 1985. Yet the view on the system itself is rather fast and does not present any deep insights.
I way quite amused of the way the commands in the shell are presented; you could hardly see something. But it is a good video, shwoing how Unix was used in 1985.
