That's a great book. Keep in mind that the computer in "The soul of a new machine" (Data General Eclipse MV/8000) was a minicomputer, not a mainframe, and in 1980, not 1964. So there are a lot of differences as well as similarities. (I'm not trying to be pedantic, but just want to make sure you don't get the wrong impression of the Eclipse.)

Wonderful book. There's a snippet on conflicts between engineers and how engineers approach them - often not in the best way - that I've referenced so many times in my career.
