[vcf-midatlantic] Stan Veit's History of the Personal Computer

[Randall Kindig]

Glenn, It’s a truly great insight into the early days of personal computing.  I love this book.

David Greelish started the Stan Veit’s History of Personal Computer Podcast (http://www.classiccomputing.com/CCPodcasts/Stan_Veit/Stan_Veit.html <http://www.classiccomputing.com/CCPodcasts/Stan_Veit/Stan_Veit.html>) where each chapter is read individually.  He got the approval of Stan’s family after Stan passed away.

Although David hit a snag where he was unable to continue producing the chapters on a regular basis, I’ve been helping him get additional chapters produced.  Through Chapter 7 have been published, and David has Chapter 8 from me ready to publish.
