EDIT - I reuploaded with a few small errors corrected, such as the map to San Antonio and the correct city for ID Software.

OK, here it is.  The final episode in this series.  Bits of this have been filmed over the last 10 months and I've been sitting on the footage for a while.  I filmed the remaining sections over the last couple of weeks and spent the last week editing it.  I would have been done with it this weekend if not for the injury to my arm that I guess everyone saw.   Anyway, the next video should be out in a week or two and it will be part 2 of the studio build.

I never knew that Texas was so important. This all was very nice to watch. I learned a lot and iit really gives those feelings, how it was back then. An amazing time.

Strange to read these episodes didn’t pull in the views. Ironic since they were the reason I decided to finally support you on Patreon. I’m in the UK but worked for EDS whose offices were in Plano, there’s the link. EDS were bought by HP in 2008 who took over the offices in Plano. Anyway, I enjoyed the road trip. Thanks
