About this Item

BRAND NEW & Collectible. Given a publication date of 1985, book is a treatise of Ancient History in the annals of Personal Computing. A wonderfully entertaining, and informative, account of struggles, battles, and sometimes getting the upper hand, with personal computers written by none other than the verteran computer-ist Erik Sandberg-Diment, Computer Columnist of the New York Times, and contributor to Popular Computing and Science Digest. It is befitting that this book is published by the Computer Book Division of Simon & Schuster. We are taken from the first experience before an Altair in 1975, to the days when the author naturally turns to daughter Tania for computer help when necessary. The book gives an honest and solid review of computing in American homes and some businesses as they come face to face with high technology. Fine copy.
