Grumble...  You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get my copy!!!

I've got some more books along this line, unfortunately they're all 
up in storage right now.  My favorite is one that gives a bunch of 
juicy details on the CPU design of various Mini's of the 70's.

I'm "lucky" enough to live close enough to "Powell's Technical Books" 
that I make it down there once or twice a year, and I love to browse 
their section of historical computing books (50's and 60's).  I've 
found many cool books there.  BTW, I say "lucky" because a trip to 
Powell's Technical is typically very expensive :^)  I'd recommend 
anyone visiting the Portland area stop in at the Technical store at a 
minimum (the main bookstore a couple blocks away can be an all day 
trip).
