RobertB Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) I’ve just scanned the book, and I discovered it to be surprisingly enjoyable and easy to read! No stuffy pronouncements! Just an informative story of the days that Bil Herd was with Commodore. After listening to Bil speak at various engagements and in various videos, I found that the book filled in areas that were not covered in the past. And I'm listing it here, because it has a page on the Amiga! Below is a page listing of what the book emphasizes (not including the handy-dandy glossary at the book’s end): Jack Tramiel – p. 12-15 TED computers (116, C16, Plus/4, 264, 364) – p. 20-49, 63-64, 72-74, 79-90, 93-94, 97-108, 116-119, 127 VIC-20 – p. 92 Commodore LCD – p. 119-126, 229, 254-255 C128 – p. 126-254, 257, 267-269 Amiga – p. 257 Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group – http://www.dickestel.com/fcug.htm Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network – http://www.portcommodore.com/sccan Nov. 6-7 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2021 – http://www.portcommodore.com/class Edited August 23, 2021 by RobertB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky7 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I just picked this up and I'm looking forward to reading. My only comment is based on everything Bill Herd was involved in with Commodore and MOS-CSG, I was hoping the book would be a little longer.
