Review of 'Commodore' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I actually read the ePub as provided by the publisher. This book describes the rise and fall of what was the largest computer company during/before people knew what a personal computer was. Commodore created the first home computer and this book tells how it started with the PET, and what eventually led to the million units sold C64... and how they acquired Hitoro/Lorraine which became known as the Amiga. I enjoyed the writing style a lot; detailed and passionate.
