[books] iWoz is pretty good too, as is the Innovator's Dilemma

[mattkime]

I found iWoz to be a good read. Some parts go a little bit heavy on Woz's personality quirks. (he considers his dial-a-joke project to be rather important in his life) but his tale of how the Apple I and Apple II were created is quite wonderful. Its amazing to think that he essentially had the whole thing in his head. One man effort.

The Innovator's Dilemma is also a very good book, although its a business book. Short and too the point in a good way. Examines the hard drive market for a lot of its data, frequent references to the transition from 8" to 5.25" hard drives.
