Review by Nick Adams, 2000-12-22
PLEASE NOTE: Amazon is calling this Volume 6, but it's actually Volume 5. (Click on the enlarged picture and you can plainly see that it's Volume 5.)
Volume 5 contains: Tops, IBM at the Fair, A Computer Glossary, Eames Lounge Chair, The Expanding Airport, Kepler's Laws, Bread, Polyorchis Haplus and a rarely seen precursor to Tops, (also called Tops.)
Actually, I can only comment on "Tops" because I haven't seen the rest of DVD yet. But "Tops" is just a wonderful piece of filmmaking.
