 I was the author of the original PDP-8 * "Introduction to
 Programming", published in either late 1968 or early 1969.  I hired
 onto Digital straight out of college as a tech writer joining a
 department of four writers for the whole company.
 Almost 40 years later I am still with HP. 
Great to hear from you.
My copy of "Introduction to Programming" shows:

	First Printing, January 1969
	Second Printing, July 1969

	Copyright ? 1968, 1969

I found it a most useful book, though I had been programming PDP-8's
since 1965, even before the first PDP-8's actually appeared.

I still have my copy and read it from time to time, the concepts are
ageless and not married to any hardware.
