Just read “LaserWriter II” and it was a surprisingly fun read. All about the characters in an old Apple repair shop in the ‘90s. The writing style is really unique, and the nostalgia was high. Discovered it while eavesdropping on someone recommending books in a bookstore.

Loved this, and glad to have it recommended by someone for whom Tekserve was just "an old Apple repair shop" ツ

Tekserve was the nexus of the NYC personal computing community spanning the desktop-publishing and Internet revolutions; when I started an ISP a couple of blocks away my partner and many of our employees were ex-Teks, two of whom are mentioned by name in this book. Good times.


I just heard about this book on the radio (maybe?) and just the title instantly transported me back to the 1990s. Thanks for recommendation, I will check it out.
