Book recommendation
lk
I'm sure I saw somewhere recently there were a couple of good books out
about 1980s microcomputers - but I can't remember the titles of them for the
life of me.
Can anyone help - the folks are already asking what I want for Christmas!!!
Cheers
Raymond Wiker

My apologies... the book is called "Digital Retro: The Evolution
and Design of the Personal Computer", and is written by Gordon
Laing. The url above is incorrect, too - a trailing slash seems
to be necessary.
