| Commodore - a company
on the edge |
| The Spectacular
Rise and Fall of Commodore |
|
| Filled with first-hand
accounts of ambition, greed, and inspired
engineering, this history of the personal
computer revolution takes readers inside
the cutthroat world of Commodore. Before
Apple, IBM, or Dell, Commodore was the
first computer maker to market its machines
to the public, eventually selling an
estimated 22 million Commodore 64s.
These halcyon days were tumultuous,
however, owing to the expectations and
unsparing tactics of founder Jack Tramiel.
Engineers and managers share their experiences
between 1976 and 1994 of the groundbreaking
moments, soaring highs, and stunning
employee turnover that came with being
on top of the PC world in the early
computer business. |
