...is the title of this 'ere new book.

I haven't got anything else to add since I've not read it, but thought lots of people would be interested in checking it out.

I'm buying this for sure! Thanks for letting me know it exists!

Puzzle · 05 October 2005, 14:11

Did anyone here buy it? Did you get it? Is it good?

I'm considering buying it..

From A4000 to babyphones, is this really a deep fall?

Yes, it is.

BTW: This advert is an 2005 advert.

musashi5150 · 05 October 2005, 20:16

I've just ordered my copy

Toni Wilen · 05 October 2005, 20:28

I finished it last weekend

Book was really great. Some chapters made me angry but that was not book's fault...

Puzzle · 05 October 2005, 22:15

I just ordered my copy as well.

Looking forward to reading it.

Maybe this is an high performance babyphone with 68060 Processor
and bluetooth.

Whoah!, gotta get one

Jope · 12 October 2005, 06:40

Just ordered it, been meaning to for some time now. :-)

musashi5150 · 17 October 2005, 20:09

My copy arrived today

I haven't really had a chance to start reading it yet, but it looks a very nice book. Good quality covers and bindings etc, and would recommend it.

Seconded, have put this on the Christmas list

Got it, reading it (just around the VIC-20/VIC-1001 era), recommend it heartily.

Great insight, I thought I had a good idea of how things went, but the reality seems to be quite different. :-D

Is this book for sale in bookstores? I live in Sweden so it'd be nice if it was.

I just got a note today I can pick up my copy at the postoffice tomorrow, so it just took 7,5 weeks for me

. Wouldve ordered from you if I`d known this earlier (especially as Im also still looking for that smallish IDE-Cable).

I got mine in a day from Amigakit here in the UK. Great service.
