"The ""Man""and his Machines I hope this book will refresh the memories of the few who were lucky enough to use ""laptops"" in the early years. Also to spark an interest in a machine which changed the way we live and do business today. I believe this book will be an invaluable aid in furnishing the information required to start a very challenging pursuit of vintage ""Laptop"" Computers. This could be a fascinating venture which would connect you to our life-changing technological history."

Reviews for Vintage Laptop Computers: First Decade: 1980-89

One of the most influential and least understood philosophers of the modern world is Baruch Spinoza (1632-77). This complete biography is more than just a life story, however, and involves a thorough analysis of his ideas and their impact. Based on detailed archival research, it recreates the world of 17th-century Jewish Amsterdam into which Spinoza was born, the son of a Portuguese merchant. In exploring his expulsion from that community for heretical views, Nadler sets up the context for the intellectual quests which were to dominate Spinoza's life: the pursuit of religious toleration, moral well-being and personal freedom.
