It is from 2016, I had not seen it before.
I remember Compaq well, but by the mid 1990's they were mostly known as a cheap manufacturer getting killed by companies using cheaper Japanese and Chinese parts (Dell, Gateway)
It is a good story. I had no idea how much Steve Jobs copied some of Compaq's methods, basically cloning their entire marketing methods.
Interesting.
P.S. - I did know the series "Halt and Catch Fire" was loosely based on Compaq's story
