There are a lot of really interesting people from that era who could make a good story:

Lee Felsenstein - Homebrew Compter Club, Osborne 1, Sol-20 (this + Community Memory is a good story)

Ed Roberts - MITS

Nat Wadsworth - created a PC in 1973, heartbraking story http://www.willegal.net/feature_stories/Nat%20Wadsworth%20-%...

Dr Robert Suding - Create Digital Group computers

Robert Noyce - Founder of Fairfield semi and Intel. Really good book called The Man Behind The Microchip
