Grats, Bill. It's amazing that you are working on that project with all this other stuff going on. Your house must look like a printshop!
I've been working on the treatment off and on as I get a chance. I plan to do a bunch more on it this weekend. What I'd love to do is actually combine two books; our first one (history of the platforms) and the second one (Vintage Games). So, you'd end up with a nice history of both the hardware and the software, with the personalities of the developers/commentators thrown in for spice. That to me would be an intoxicating brew indeed.
Still working on getting the right tone though. I'm thinking of something with some punch but also not skimpy on detail. Obviously, we will be going for accuracy here.
