Re: The DYR? Reading List

Don't think its been mentioned already but one of my favourite books is 'Where did it all go right? Growing up in the 70's' by Andrew Collins:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-Did-It...1882537&sr=8-1

Nicely nostalgic, also there is an 80's version when he's a bit older and at College / Uni:

Both excellent books.

Digital Retro
This is a fantastic coffee table book.

"Compatibility? Forget it! Each of these computers was its own machine and had no intention of talking to anything else. Much like their owners in fact, who passionately defended their machines with a belief verging on the religious.This book tells the story behind 40 classic home computers of an infamous decade, from the dreams and inspiration, through passionate inventors and corporate power struggles, to their final inevitable extinction, and subsequent worship by the nostalgic collectors market.

Digital Retro

is an essential read for anyone who owned a home computer in the Eighties."
