My life reading list 2010.09.22: Computer: A History of the Information Machine

This is a great read, especially the periods where I updated my memories of certain events. It provides excellent perspective from the human computer rooms of the 19th century to 1996. Steve

Computer: A History of the Information Machine : "According to the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, Campbell-Kelly and Aspray's account is 'a highly readable, broad-brush picture of the development of computing, or rather of the computer industry, from its beginning to the present' which 'sets a new standard for the history of computing.'[1]"
