I came across this site just now and I wanted to share it with you all. It is a history of the development of the Macintosh in the early 1980s. There are 119 pages to it.

This is really very well written and entertaining! Is it somewhere avialable in print or as printable PDF? Reading long texts on screen is tiresome.

I love these kind of stories,
and since I don´t have Internet yet, now I´m downloading each and every page
as a MHT file
so I can take it home, lay back and read it,
...now I need a Pizza.
if you know more of this type of stories, please post them.
