The Best Of Creative Computing, Vol. 2

The Best of Creative Computing: Volume 2 contains more than 150 articles published in Creative Computing magazine in 1977. It contains an amazing collection of material of interest to technology historians, retrocomputing hobbyists, and programmers. These articles were written at a time when home computers were only becoming reality for the first time, when electronic calculators were still an expensive novelty, and when computers were only beginning to be used in business.
