I will check out the book as I haven’t read it yet but I need to get through Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine. Too much on the computer and not enough reading whats a guy going to do?

Xerox PARC still is coming out with cutting edge stuff. I remember seeing a demo of liquid newspaper in a tube that changed every day I think that is their invetion.

The book is the history of software and the development of the PC and has interesting (to me) chapters on Gates growing up, Gates and Allen riding their bikes to a company to critique the programs written by adults as 13 and 15 year-old kids, the early years, Mipps, where Gates had a falling out with a guy over selling the computer to him (generation clash) who later became a family physician in Georgia and told 60 Minutes he never regretted the choice.


But you were there and you lived some of this. I like software and computers as a hobby. What perspective you must have.
