I laughed, I cried.....Madcap RollerCoaster Ride Darling!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Home Computer Wars: An Insider's Account of Commodore and Jack Tramiel (Hardcover)
Very good. If you own(ed) any C= computer or Amiga, you'll find this book extremely interesting. The time period dealt with, is from the beginning of Commodore as a computer company(it does not cover their humble beginnings as a typewriter or furniture manufacturer to any great extent), to their ousting of Jack Tramiel and finally acquisition of the Amiga.As i said, it's a very interesting look at the most creative (and sometimes bizzarre) computer company that will probably ever grace the U.S., though it would've been nice if it had been updated...after all a lot has happened in 1985-1994!

Great account of the beginnings of the home computer market,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Home Computer Wars: An Insider's Account of Commodore and Jack Tramiel (Hardcover)
Not much technical information here, but that's not what you'd expect. You do get a very good feel for the running of this huge international company (Commodore Business Machines) that is now defunct. It'll make you remember that old C-64 you've probably got collecting dust in the attic <grin>.
One note, the author's name is misspelled here, it's MichAEl, not MichEAl.

A *MUST* HAVE for Commodore Collectors,
By Anthony G Beckett (Traralgon, VIC Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Home Computer Wars: An Insider's Account of Commodore and Jack Tramiel (Hardcover)
I recently located a copy of this book, paid a fortune for it - but it was well worth it. The content is amazing, revealing the organisational culture of Commodore through the most important time in personal computing history. It also talks about Jack Tramiel and how he came to leave Commodore and move to Atari. I highly recommend seeking out this book - you won't regret it.
