Summary: Captivating History of A Great Corporate Story
Review: This is an excellent book. It is exceptionally well researched, well written and easy to read. While the concept of detailing the history of a corporation may seem mundane or boring, Linzmayer and Apple both make this a different story.

Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs helped to spark the home computer revolution when they invented the Apple I computer in a garage in Los Altos, California. Their computers have created a fanatic, cult-like following and some appear more like contemporary art or sculptures than actual computers.

Linzmayer provides detailed timelines illustrating the evolution of Apple and thorough inside information about the inner-workings of Apple, the comings and goings of its executive leadership, the evolution and creation of Apple's innovative product lines and more.

Summary: Apple unpeeled
Review: This is primarily a history of the computer company, not the Macintosh operating system. It's a catalogue of the trials and tribulations of a set of computer pioneers who were then and are still now miles ahead of their peers.

It is a compulsive read because although you may think you know the story, the deeper you get into the book the less you know.

We have come a long way in 30 years of computer history, and Apple has always been at the cutting edge. This is what makes this an exciting read, and the story is still unfolding. Another edition is assured.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Book! But i expected more!
Review: Well i will say that this book is much better than the first one and does supply much information about Apple. The onle thing that i was dissapointed in was that it did not really talk much about any operating systems prior to System 6. It also never talked about the Cameras Apple use to make the Apple Quicktakes. Apple also made a huge series of printers and scanners and NONE of them are mentioned at all in this. Apple also and still does make servers too and all these thing provide or provided apple with a big market in the past!
