Flying Upside Down
Soul of a New Machine : Flying Upside Down (excerpt from The Atlantic, July '81)
For those of you who are paying attention (the rest of you : WAKE UP!) you may remember me writing about Tracy Kidder's 1981 book, "Soul of a New Machine" last month. You can read a couple of chapters at the Atlantic Online website.
I was interested in what became of the Hardy Boys and Micro-Kids. Read about life after Eagle here.
And finally, why wasn't Data General building a 32-bit mini-computer like building the space shuttle or the SR-71 Blackbird? Read why here (warning: PDF).
