Fire in the Valley (Freiberger/Swaine)
Hackers (Levy)
The Naked Computer (Rochester/Gantz)
I found Fire in the Valley on ABE at
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookSearch for $6.00 plus postage. A most
interesting book! Some of these books are getting a bit harder to find on
the streets.
Don't forget that there's a second edition of Fire In The
Valley, which was published in the last couple of years. I
lent my first edition to someone, and lost touch with them.
I now have a second edition, which includes a chapter on
the Web and the "browser wars", as well as some mention of
newer companies such as Sun Microsystems.
And I found a copy of "Hackers" at a charity shop (thrift
store) just a few weeks ago.
BTW, thanks for sorting out the "neon bulbs" issue. Seems
I was right to doubt the text there!
