"Where Wizards Stay Up Late" - a good read, as is "Fire in the Valley"
(PC industry "history"), "Dealers in Lightning" (Xerox PARC history),
"Starving to death on $200 Million" (History of "The Industry Standard"
magazine), and "Crypto" - but please, with all due respect, avoid "In
the beginning... was the command line" - what a waste of wood pulp...

To be fair, it was more or less as advertised, but the author plays fast
and loose with the facts, and it is 100% his opinion, supported by
little more than his frustration with losing an MS Word document and
converts to Linux... The quotes on the cover from reviewers are, simply,
overstated...
