This story is from today's San Jose Mercury News:


Included in Leslie Berlin's book, and in this story, is discussion of Atari, including Al Alcorn and Nolan Bushnell.  Leslie was in the front row of an IEEE Silicon Valley Tech History Committee event I organized in Sept 2016 about Atari, and its panelists included these two luminaries. That event is described here, its slides are here, its full video is here (thanks to Viodi's Ken Pyle), and an IEEE Spectrum story about the event (written by Tekla Perry, who sat next to Leslie at this event) is here.

The above story mentions Berlin's book about Bob Noyce titled The Man Behind the Microchip which I heartily recommend.  I'll be anxious to read the new book!  Also, Leslie will be interviewed at the Computer History Museum in Mtn. View, California, USA on Wed, 13 December, at 7pm PST.  That interview should also be streamed on Facebook Live.
