I bought it as an e-book fairly soon after it was published. For me, it was something of a trip down nostalgia road. When I read about Homebrew Computer Club and Whole Earth Catalog that brought back a lot of memories from times gone by.

I am a tinkerer, so PC and DOS was always my preference. Hence, I've never owned anything but beige boxes. So for me it was interesting to see how Apple was driven by design not engineering. Considering the market capitalization for Microsoft it must have been a nice feeling for Jobs when he was able to pass them by.

Don't know what the clinical definition of a psychopath is, but I'm fairly sure that Steve Jobs is able to find himself within those parameters.
