There was also one by COMPUTE! Books, the (Small?) Computer Wars I think the author's name is Michael Tomzyk. I have yet to find it (or many that you mentioned) Though I found Steven Levy's Hackers very entertaining! One interesting book my wife came across in a thrift store is: "The Compleat Computer" a compilation edited by Dennie Van Tassel. It was printed in 1976 and has alot of press clippings, cartoons, articles and anecdotes of the then blossoming microcomputer age. One nice bit is the transcript of the session between Eliza (the psychiatrist program) and Parry (the paranoid program).
