Articoli correlati a On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore
Filled with first-hand accounts of ambition, greed, and inspired engineering, this history of the personal computer revolution takes readers inside the cutthroat world of Commodore. Before Apple, IBM, or Dell, Commodore was the first computer maker to market its machines to the public, selling an estimated 22 million Commodore 64s. Those halcyon days were tumultuous, however, owing to the expectations and unsparing tactics of founder Jack Tramiel. Engineers and managers with the company between 1976 and 1994 share their experiences of the groundbreaking moments, soaring business highs, and stunning employee turnover that came along with being on top of the PC world in the early days. This second edition includes never-before-seen photographs, updated information, a full index, a timeline, and new interviews including Commodore cofounder Manny Kapp and Commodore marketing guru Kit Spencer.
