(Rot 13 not needed!) Why haven't I thought of sharing this before?!! I spent a miserable two weeks in the hospital in March, and two more at home recovering from an attack of a very nasty disease. One of my former associates sent me, Special Delivery, the "Naked Computer," by Jack Rochester and John Gantz, pub by William Morrow, & Co, 1983. This is the most entertaining work about computers! History, hardware, fraud, funny stories...they're all here. Those few facts which I already knew confirmed the credibility of the authors and their sources. It's not technical; indeed, the authors are of the new breed of "high tech journalists" and observers, so their book will have broad appeal. It's at least as good as anything on the newsgroups!
