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.

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.
