Synopsis

In his follow-up to the best-selling Software Runaways, Robert Glass brings together 30 of the worst computer-industry failures of all time -- and shows how you can prevent disaster from happening to you. Computer Calamities is organized into six short sections, each featuring a collection of articles relating to a particular type of computer-industry disaster. All the biggest failures of the past decade are here: Cray's failed supercomputers; Citicorp's $600 million blunder; the collapse of Wang; the failure of the Commodore Amiga; Jim Manzi's Nets, Inc., Unisys' mismanaged Usoft, and dozens more. If you enjoyed (and learned from) Software Runaways, you'll love Computing Calamities.
