I've posted a review of Apple Confidential: The Real Story of Apple
Computer, Inc., to the VCF website.
http://www.vintage.org/cgi-bin/content.pl?id=003
It's a good book and I highly recommend it, especially if you're an Apple
fan.

Sellam said in his VCF site review of this book:
"You first realize this is not just another book about Apple when it begins
with an Apple factoid that even I (a lifelong Apple fanatic) didn't even
know about. It reveals that Apple actually had one other founder besides the
two Steves, a man by the name of Ronald Wayne who got cold feet and bailed
out shortly after Apple's official founding (he's the guy who designed the
logo of Newton sitting under the Apple tree on the Apple-1 manual)."
Poor Ron Wayne, who sold out his 10% of the company for $500, is missing
from all the Apple company stories that I have read,
but his involvement is
described well in Fire in the Valley by Freiberger and Swaine
on pages
265-267 of the updated version that came out this year.

There's no mention of him in the original edition. For his part,
according to the book, he claims he doesn't regret the decision :)
(considering the circumstances it quite plausible)

IIRC this fact is also mentioned in the "Mac Bathroom Reader".
Another great book for Apple/Mac fans.

The _Mac Bathroom Reader_ was also written by Owen Linzmayer, the author
of _Apple Confidential_.

Hi Sellam,
Re:
good review...looks like an interesting book!
BTW, some search engines won't search cgi-bin pages, so you might reconsider
why you have a simple text page being delivered via CGI ... if you want it
indexed.
