The problem in my mind was that there was no guiding
thread, no >hook",
no core story, no moral or lesson - just fumbling

insane investors, inept marketroids, crazy genius types, >etc. Is this
interesting enough, or just interesting to Amiga-heads?
The former. I can read commodore anecdotes for hours and never get
tired. One of my favorites is that they drilled circuit boards (some
early machine) to prevent people from putting their own upgrade chips in
(rather than have the dealer do it), and it cost them more to do this
than the cost of the actual chip. I mean, there does have to be some
tie-together, but it's always there if one has a lot of information.
Here's one: Capitalism, the abode of stupidity, is the crematorium of
ingenuity and creativity. Just off the top of my head.
