I’ve just scanned the book, and I discovered it to be surprisingly enjoyable and easy to read! No stuffy pronouncements! Just an informative story of the days that Bil Herd was with Commodore. After listening to Bil speak at various engagements and in various videos, I found that the book filled in areas that were not covered in the past. Below is a page listing of what the book emphasizes (not including the handy-dandy glossary at the book’s end): Jack Tramiel – p. 12-15 TED computers (116, C16, Plus/4, 264, 364) – p. 20-49, 63-64, 72-74, 79-90, 93-94, 97-108, 116-119, 127 VIC-20 – p. 92 Commodore LCD – p. 119-126, 229, 254-255 C128 – p. 126-254, 257, 267-269 Amiga – p. 257 Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group – www.dickestel.com/fcug.htmSouthern California Commodore & Amiga Network – www.portcommodore.com/sccanNov. 6-7 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2021 – www.portcommodore.com/class
