• Back Into the Storm by Bil Herd, Margaret Morabito

    From Robert Bernardo@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 23 14:00:13 2021
    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. And there's even a page on the Amiga!

    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
