      Can you recommend other tech history books? Or have you collected the titles and published them anywhere? So far, you’ve found a lot of interesting stuff. I read the Palm book, as you know. I also read the PowerPoint book.

      Thank you so much. You should publish a list! Maybe in your next book update? Have you read The Future Was Here by @DigiAntiquarian? It’s about the Amiga. Highly technical. Another: Sophistication & Simplicity by @a2history.

      Yes, I think both! I like the whole platform series that Amiga book belongs to.

      I’m working my way through that Fly By Wire book. Great stuff. Indeed, I I am nearly half done and don’t know how I lose track of time.
