Actually my interest in DG is largely a result of Soul. It's one of the few books
I've read more than once, and one of even fewer that I've read in one sitting.
One of the things that makes it stand out is that it comes at the story more from the
engineer's perspective and less of the business perspective than many of the others.
And for me the engineering is far, far more interesting than the business.

Fair enough. I'm more interested in the "story" behind the
companies
and products. For my own book, I'm concentrating on writing about who
the people were, what they were thinking about, what decisions they had
to make, etc., when designing products in a certain genre of computer
history.
