Recently I’ve been getting around to reading some books that I’ve never got around to reading. I just finished Tracy Kidder’s The Soul of a New Machine this weekend. One thing I’m always interested in is the ‘where are they now’ type followups (After watching Barry Blaustein’s Beyond the Mat earlier this weekend, I actually went online to see how a bunch of those guys were doing). Suffice to say, when doing these type of things, Google is your friend.
- O’ Engineers! – Dec 2000 follow-up article in Wired (w Eagle team photo w/ current status)
- Tom West: The Soul of a Development Manager – 1996 writeup on Tom West
- DATA GENERAL PUSHES FOR FASTER PROGRESS ON THIN CLIENTS – little blurb on management ignoring West on thin clients (mentioned in Wired article)
- EMC squares up to storage costs and reputation – mention of what some of what West did later on w/ Data General (bought in 1999 for $1.1B by EMC)
- The Machine Room: Data General
- Novas are Forever
- jassamyn.com: Tracy Kidder, BookPage Interview, In His Element: Tracy Kidder
I wasn’t able to find an actual picture of the Eclipse MV/8000 (Eagle).
