Concluding the Commodore trilogy, this book takes a look at Commodore's resurgence in the late 1980's and then ultimate demise. This was a period of immense creativity from engineers within the company, who began “moonshot” projects using emerging CD-ROM technology. Get to know the people behind Commodore's successes and failures as they battle to stay relevant amidst blistering competition from Nintendo, Apple, and the onslaught of IBM PC clones. Told through interviews with company insiders, this examination of the now defunct company traces the engineering breakthroughs and baffling decisions that led to the demise of Commodore.
Ever had the feeling that there has to be more to life than THIS? You're not crazy. We are all meant to experience lasting happiness. You can put down this book and continue your not-so-blissfully ignorant life. Or you can turn the page and come on a life-changing journey with me. It will offend you. It will inspire you. It will challenge everything you've ever believed. The conventional formula is actually backward. Happiness isn't something you attain; it is something you are. What are you waiting for? Become happy now.
Fra il 1976 ed il 1994 la Commodore ebbe un successo sbalorditivo nel nascente mercato dei personal computer. Fu la prima grande azienda ad esporre un personal computer, perfino prima della Apple e della Radio Shack. Vendette un milione di computer prima di chiunque altro. Nessun singolo computer ha venduto piu' del Commodore 64. Il primo vero computer multimediale, l'Amiga, venne dalla Commodore. Tuttavia, pur con tutte queste pietre miliari, alla Commodore non viene attribuito quasi alcun merito come pioniera. Mentre la Apple e la IBM praticavano prezzi esorbitanti, la Commodore fu in grado di raggiungere le masse con computer a buon mercato pur restando redditizia. Il Commodore 64 lascio' un percorso di distruzione attraverso l'industria dei primi tempi, buttando fuori dal mercato dei computer la Tandy, la Texas Instruments, la Sinclair e la Atari e facendo molto male alla Apple e perfino alla IBM. Tuttavia la Commodore e' sempre stata sull'orlo del successo accecante o del fallimento spaventoso.
