This is a fascinating look inside Commodore, with particular reference to the TED computers (C16, C116 and Plus/4) and the C128 - and how marketing ideas clashed with what the designers wanted or could achieve. There are stories of management problems, office pranks and the infamous hole in the wall story. For any Commodore fan, this is a must read from a unique and quirky perspective.
