A must read for basics on the PC

I found this book to be very readable and a great reference on why and how the PC computer architecture is like it is today. Clearly a bit dated in the scope of technologies covered, but what is covered is done so with great historical reference and a true understanding for the underlying technologies.You know a book is good if you come away with a lot of new perspective, and I certainly did. I won't part with my copy for any amount of money.
