Nope, just talk to ex-PARC people. But thats a damn good reference and I'm
ordering a copy asap!

_Insanely Great_ lies in another dimension. As does _Accidental Empires_

_The Death of IBM_ is another good read, if somewhat dated. I suppose we
can look forward to _The Death of [Digital|Tandem|Compaq]_ next.
