This book looks at the formation of Apple from its firs days in a garage through its turbulent first decades.

Why I picked it up: I'm home from work for the foreseeable future and thought I should learn a little bit more about the history of this company.

Why I kept reading: For the educational value.

In the end: I came away having learned some new things. Some things I already knew or remembered from personal experience owning Apple computers, so it was a nice trip down memory lane.
