That's ok, you'll be glad to know I just purchased a copy on amazon for
about $7.50 :) There are some books I gladly paid $$big_bux for,
including the W.
Richard Stevens TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1, Advanced Programming in the
Unix Environment, and his Unix Network Programming (vol 1 & 2) books.
Must haves, IMHO, for anyone doing programming on Unix/Linux machines,
and still in print. :)
Agreed... those are important books for anyone who does serious UNIX
programming. I have copies, too... bought new for $$$.
Most of my vintage computer books & manuals
I've been lucky enough to
grab either cheaply ($5-$10) or as they were being thrown out. A
proper VMS grey or orange wall is a necessity for any VAX-ite. Mine is
orange. :)
Nice. I have an orange _and_ a grey wall... courtesy of a former
employer (plus RSTS,
RSX, RT-11, and a shelf of VMS 1.0 manuals waiting for Bob Supnik to finish his
VAX-11/780 emulator that's being done for the express purpose of being
able to run
VMS 1.0)
