Recent Finds...

This weekend's recent finds netted me two books: The first is called Computers and Man, by Richard C. Dorf, published by Boyd and Fraser Publishing Co. in 1974. It looks like it could have been a college text at one time. The real notable part is it is loaded with alot of pictures of earlier machines and computers from the late 60s and early 70s (such as a picture of an IBM 2321 strip file, which I think was mentioned here a few months back.). also a good description of core memory (which I have been searching for to go with my core memory board I won at VCF.) The other, which may be a duplicate (for me) was PET/CBM BASIC Programming and Applications by Gene Streitmatter and Larry Joel Goldstein published by Brady Books which had an unlabeled 5 1/4" disk shoved in it, the disk contained a few examples from the book written by the last owner (for the PET)... You never know what you may find though. Not as bad a Programming books of the time go, even some nice type-in games in the back.
