Remembering the beginning of the personal computer

At the beginning of the era of the personal computer, we had to work with real floppy disks, computers where each byte had to be set by hand and big PC boards because of the high number and large size of the discrete components used to support the CPU. This book brings all of the memories of the PC's early days into 3-D. The seller shipped this promptly and in good shape.

A reference in 3D!

This book is absolutely priceless, every corporate library should have one. From the pop-up computer that informs us that 'BY THE END YOU'LL KNOW ME INSIDE OUT.' to the dot-matrix printer that makes head-impact noises, it covers it all.See the binary conversion wheel - it goes all the way up to 10001 (17), and the list of application types - Games are number 1.Just keep it away from your CEO or they may ask where you can get 8" square floppy disks.
