from W. W. Norton

Customer Review:
Let me start off by saying that I am not an Apple fanatic. I started out an an Apple II way made in high school, but never really got hooked on them. I was a Tandy user for the most part.

Customer Review:
I almost threw the book away when reading the first chapter. The first chapter of any book is very important.

Especially, the tone of his writing is inappropriate... more info
