nice review enrico. in case any of you missed this the subject is Stan
Veit's book on the History of Peronal Computers (see
http://www.pc-history.org/)
i ordered my copy from Amazon books, see:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1566640237/6862-4279715-208683
(placed the order Friday morning; the book was in my mailbox yesterday).
last night i got about 1/3 of the way through this 300 page book. lots of
good history there that would be of interest to many in this group,
including discussion of some of the more obscure contenders (e.g. "Video
Brain").
thanks for the pointer.

If you like the History of Personal Computers you might
like to read my
review of the Stan Veit book I just received from him.
You will find it at:

I know that the book has been published in 1993 but some of you (like
me) might not have been aware of it till now. Stan has seen all the
personal computer revolution from the inside as he opened the second
computer store in the USA and the first on the East Coast (New York).
Please forgive my spelling mistakes....
Thanks
