I don't care if you use a Mac, PC, Linux box, big iron, or no computer
at all: you'll find something to read, and probably chuckle over, in
this book.  Linzmayer has a history of the Macintosh (and some other
boxes, as well) packed with personalities, quotes, trivia, timelines,
tables, and more.  You can read, dip, or browse as you please.

It's sometimes hard to say that a particular chapter has a topic, but
along the way, you'll meet the forgotten co-founder of Apple, short-
sighted companies, code names, the Apple, Apple][, Apple III, the Mac,
NeXT, Lisa, 1984, Lemmings, Bill Gates, John Sculley, dumb users, the
Dog cow, Easter eggs, and the insiders.

OK, it's a few years out of date now.  Who cares?  Stuff like this
doesn't age.  It's well written, and great fun.
