Grumble... You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get my copy!!!
I've got some more books along this line, unfortunately they're all
up in storage right now. My favorite is one that gives a bunch of
juicy details on the CPU design of various Mini's of the 70's.
I'm "lucky" enough to live close enough to "Powell's Technical
Books"
that I make it down there once or twice a year, and I love to browse
their section of historical computing books (50's and 60's). I've
found many cool books there. BTW, I say "lucky" because a trip to
Powell's Technical is typically very expensive :^) I'd recommend
anyone visiting the Portland area stop in at the Technical store at a
minimum (the main bookstore a couple blocks away can be an all day
trip).
