The Apple II Age: How the Computer Became Personal
An engrossing origin story for the personal computer, The Apple II Age illustrates how the Apple II's software helped a machine transcend from a hobbyists' plaything to an essential daily-use home appliance . . .
A constellation of software creation stories offers a new understanding of the modern PC in The Apple II Age, which brings forth an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu, and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.
"An enjoyable and educational history with original research that questions and clarifies popular, long-held assumptions and lore." -- Juiced.GS (Apple II's Quarterly Magazine)
