TOO BLUE!: The IBM PC from an Acorn to a Renegade

I lived part of this story as I started my career in IT selling systems. It was a fascinating time and this books nails the details. Really enjoyed the read.

I was recommended this book by a colleague and I dare to say that I enjoyed it so much. It is a nice combination of technical subject and history (both business and technical ones) which makes this piece of work interesting and absorbing.In the first pages, there are short descriptions about people and devices mentioned or interviewed during the reading.For those who work within the field of computers and have an interest in how and why things have developed the way they have, this book is a must; and for those who have never heard about this topic, it is a good way to understand it as it is written in a simple and clear way.The book can seem a bit slow and repetitive in some parts, anyway this is truly delightful.I gave it a try and found out that it was a very worthwhile read. Undoubtedly, I will hope for other titles of this talented author.

quite a page turner, for a business book

“Too Blue!” is no ordinary story. Dennis Andrews tells us the most unimaginable, spectacular and inspirational story as it has never been told before.Before reading, I thought there were no details unknown about Bill Gates and the computer industry. However, this book displays everything about the story behind personal computing.I believe this piece is inspirational because many times I’ve found myself in the same position Bill Gates was: with an idea which is promising but which is also discouraged.This book taught me to be persistent, to never give up, and to keep on trying.I strongly believe anyone can find support in these pages. Besides, it is an interesting story!

We are so immersed in our own reality that sometimes we are not aware of how much we rely on modern technology and how interesting the story of its development is. In “Too Blue!: The IBM PC from an Acorn to a Renegade” Dennis Andrews fascinated me with this narrative about the creation and popularization of the personal computer. It is amazing to read about a group of people who envisioning the future revolutionized the world with their technological advances. This book portrays the story of computing with a combination of historically accurate facts, thrilling events and surprising twists that certainly hooked my attention from the beginning. I highly recommend it.
