One of the better websites on the internet, from the founder of Autodesk: http://www.fourmilab.ch/nav/topics.html

Suggested starting point: http://www.fourmilab.ch/atlast/atlast.html

He recounts lots of Autodesk history. An early software company success story, from the days before the www.

Highly recommended.

You beat me to it. Fourmilab is the backbone of my www. Been visting for twenty years - the site is still recognizably itself, and though at a somewhat slower page nowadays, still regularly manages to come up with interesting new stuff. It's a treasure trove. Everyting public domain'ed.
