Title: A Must Read
Product review: After a slow start, this book becomes a must read and hard to put down.This book makes a fantastic case study in running a business, and I do not mean in a positive way -- I am sorry that it does not include an index for future reference. The stories of developing the VIC-20, Commondore 64 and 128, and the Amiga are fun to read. The author also presents great portraits of the key engineers and executives involved. The author also writes a history of the home computer that is NOT the classic Apple-cult example. He makes many references that are less than complimentary of Apple and Woz in particular. This book is a great counter-balance to the revisionist history put to the public by Apple's PR machine. The story of Commodore is the story of how one company got lucky, capitalized on it and then lost its way. Fascinating dynamics.
