(More customer reviews)As one of the co-creators, I know the history of the TRS-80. This is the most accurate history of this "Industry Creating Machine" out there. Even knowing the history, it was enjoyable to fill in the holes related to some of the other players.
Many people give Apple the credit for creating the personal computer industry, but it really took Radio Shack with their stores and presence in the market to bring the awareness of personal computers to the masses. Then IBM made the market take off.
A fun read for those that lived the revolution and those who want to know why we have personal computers today.
Another good book for additional history on the personal computer revolution is Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer. This gives an account of the other player in the infancy of the industry.
