Hmm - all very good books...

Eeck - memories of USCD Pascal on an Apple ][+ - shudder...

Never read it... Hmmm...

In a related vein, I'd *deeply* appreciate pointers to a copy of Ted
Nelson's "Computer Lib" (aka "Dream Machines", if you look at the back
cover upside-down).

I've been nostalgic lately - reading "fire in the valley" by Freiberger
& Swaine (subtitled "The Making of the Personal Computer")...

Memories!
