Edited by Wendy Grossman, Remembering the Future (Springer-Verlag,
£14.95, ISBN 3 540 76095 4) is a tricky title for a collection of
interviews printed in the magazine Personal Computer World in the first half of
the 1990s. These were the years when PCs were still new and exciting. They were
outselling hot cakes and manufacturers strained to keep up with speeding
technology. Boardroom decisions could make or break firms. The interviews show
who got them right and who got them wrong. Impossible to read straight through,
in small doses the book provides a sometimes rueful history of a hectic
period.
