About this title

From Library Journal:

"The story is still going on," noted LJ 's reviewer of the earlier editon of this book ( LJ 12/87), and here Littman, a former PC Week reporter, brings us up to date on pending lawsuits as well as what eccentric ComputerLand company founder Millard has been doing since he finally had to sell his "baby" in 1986. Splashed with such diverse elements as Millard's est training, the personal computer boom, corruption, and even murder, our reviewer called the story "more of an adventure than a history," and one that provides "interesting insight into the entrepreneurial birth of a billion-dollar company." Libraries that do not have the earlier edition should consider purchase.
