@jessamyn I still have the hardback from when it was first published and, although I never used a DG computer, always felt the book was an iconic snapshot of the industry, of America (being great) with it, and of, course, the cast of characters. I will re-read with nostalgia. It meant a lot to me (DEC user at the time w a lot of respect for rivals).
Winced at the "He's married?" story. Work/life fallout the too often hidden price of success. Nothing lasts forever... but glory endures. Respect!
