Book: Revoltution in The Valley
As a companion the the iWoz book, I also read Revoltution in The Valley – The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac Was Made.
It was not a page-turner like “iWoz”, but just as interesting to read.
Just like with the book by Woz, I already knew some of its contents — this time by accidentally browsing the folklore.org stories that form the basis of the book.
The anecdotal structure of the book makes it easy to read in pieces, but it tends to not ‘draw you into it’ as much. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading about this exceptional computer system and its uber-geeky creators.
I figure that the book would be perfect for Mac users and fans, but even for a Linux/Windows guy like me I’d heartily recommended it.

Joe Flo,
Als alles goed verloopt breng ik morgen een gloednieuwe MacBook Pro mee naar huis. Ik laat je zeker mijn eerste indrukken weten.
De boeken die je aanraadt zijn in Bolivia (Zuid-Amerika?) helaas niet te vinden…
Groetjes
