Looking for the memo cited in Cringely's columns of August 28th and September 4th? It's The Final Days. The strategy of "technological leverage" is developed in my 1988 screed The New Technological Corporation. For a more utopian (and naïve) 1985 view of promoting innovation in the software business, see Information Letter 12, in particular the concluding section, The American Dream. All of these documents are included in the 1994 fourth (online) edition of The Autodesk File.
