Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Commodore through first-hand accounts by former Commodore engineers and managers. Reliving the early years of an icon in the personal computer revolution turns out to be a fascinating and improbably hilarious journey. This gripping tale of ambition, greed, and inspired engineering gives readers a front row seat at the dawn of the personal computer. Engineers and managers relate their experiences through personal first-hand accounts, vividly recalling the most important moments of Commodore's entry into computers in 1976 until its demise in 1994. The Commodore years are tumultuous, owing to their volatile founder, Jack Tramiel. He pushes his team to extreme limits, demanding that they almost kill themselves to meet his lofty expectations. Against all odds, his engineers deliver more color, more character, and more value than either Apple or IBM. While other companies receive more press, Commodore sells more computers. They cut a path of destruction through the competition, knocking out Sinclair, Tandy, Texas Instruments, and Atari and almost mortally wounding Apple. Unfortunately, Tramiel's cut throat tactics also prove to be his undoing. He uses up his managers and employees like disposable ink cartridges, producing the highest employee turnover rate in the industry.
Book Synopsis The Commodore’s Story by : Ralph Middleton Munroe
Download or read book The Commodore’s Story written by Ralph Middleton Munroe and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes which brought the city of Miami of today are delightfully described in this book of personal reminiscences, written by one of Florida’s earliest settlers in collaboration with his life-long friend, Vincent Gilpin. Ralph Munroe first went to Biscayne Bay in 1887. Soon after that time he and his friends built his home, The Barnacle, in Coconut Grove, where he has lived ever since. From this center his influence has been felt for almost fifty years—during the vivid and exciting period of early exploration and settlement,—during the slow development which led up to Flagler and the railroad,—through the boom, the disastrous hurricanes against which the Commodore’s warnings went unheeded, down to the present time. No one interested in southern Florida or in the sea can afford to miss this picturesque story of a Biscayne Bay pioneer who is today so widely and affectionately known. One of Florida’s earliest lovers, the Commodore has been unswervingly devoted to the best interests of the region and has been close to the most significant incidents of its growth. Beautifully illustrated throughout with photographs from Ralph Munroe’s private collection, the earliest on the Bay.

Book excerpt: "In The Commodore, the Navy in 1942-1943 is fighting a losing battle against Japan for control of the Solomon Islands. Vice Admiral William "Bull" Halsey is tasked to change the course of the war. Halsey, a maverick, goes on the offensive and appoints a host of new destroyer commanders, including a wild-card named Harmon Wolf. An American Indian from a Minnesota reservation, Wolf has never fit in with the traditional Navy officer corps. But under Halsey, Wolf's aggressive tactics and gambling nature bring immediate results, and he is swiftly promoted to Commodore of an entire destroyer squadron. What happens next will change Wolf's life, career, and the fate of his ships forever. An epic story of courage, disaster, survival, and triumph that culminates in the pivotal battle of Vela Gulf..."--

Book excerpt: Filled with first-hand accounts of ambition, greed, and inspired engineering, this history of the personal computer revolution takes readers inside the cutthroat world of Commodore. Before Apple, IBM, or Dell, Commodore was the first computer manufacturer to market its machines to the public, selling an estimated 22 million Commodore 64s. Those halcyon days were tumultuous, however, owing to the expectations and unsparing tactics of founder Jack Tramiel. Engineers and managers with the company between 1976 and 1994 share their memories of the groundbreaking moments, soaring business highs, and stunning employee turnover that came with being on top in the early days of the microcomputer industry. This updated third edition includes additional interviews and first-hand material from major Commodore figures like lead engineer Jeff Porter, engineers Bob Welland, Michael Sinz, Hedley Davis and Electronics Arts founder Trip Hawkins.

Book Synopsis Commodore 16 Games Book by : Cameron Duffy
Download or read book Commodore 16 Games Book written by Cameron Duffy and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984, this book enabled a whole new generation to learn game coding on their Commodore 16 - an unusual and relatively rare machine that had a processor which was faster than that of the famous C64, possessed more efficient screen memory, had a much faster BASIC interpreter... yet came supplied with just a quarter of the memory held by its older brother. Despite the machine's lacklustre performance in the US, sales in Europe were strong and the machine retains a large fan base to this day. Popular in Easter bloc countries - particularly Hungary - the machine was the first home computer that many people owned; it therefore retains a significant 'nostalgia factor' amongst its userbase. As the original publisher Melbourne house wrote: * * * * If you 're only going to get one games book for your Commodore 16 then this is the book for you! Easy to Program: With the unique CHEXSUM verification program you can make sure your games are bug free. Hard to Beat: Games that will test your reflexes, your nerve, your logic, your strategy and your intelligence - educational games, simulation games, gambling games and much more! All these games explore to the fullest the extended graphics and sound facilities of the new, easier to use BASIC. * * * * Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproductions Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.

Book excerpt: What if you had to be at a particular train station in England at a particular time on a particular day and you didn't know why? What if you met that one person there that meant everything to you but you hadn't met before and she had been compelled to be at that station at that time on that day as well? What if many things between you were familiar but yet you didn't know why? In The Commodore these are the questions that Jack and Emma ask themselves as they meet for the first time in a train station in Fleet, England in June of 2001. They had to be there and as they talk they inadvertently bring up connections between themselves that they had not been familiar with until they met on this day. As a train arrives at Fleet Station in December of 1942, in war torn England, military analysts Sam Harbour and Madison Bell are quietly joking with each about something that becomes familiar to Jack and Emma on that June day in 2001. From Eisenhower's secret London bunker to FDR's Hyde Park estate Madison Bell and Sam Harbour try to change history.
