Maybe they tried to get Orson Welles, but he refused, because he was dead? "That's no excuse!" Lynch said and, stabbed to the heart, took Sting instead. Talking about books, just read "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" by Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon. It tells about building Arpanet and eventually the birth of the Internet. Highly recommended. Entertaining, and meticulous enough for a non-tech guy like me. Every technical achievement is described using some common-sense metaphor. Now, does anybody know a good and yet popularized-enough book about inventing UNIX? Tried to search something about it on the 'net, but everything I found was way too techy to me... (except that funny timeline map of different UNIX versions...) ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "Less is moo." - The Holy Mad Cow http://www.holymadcow.org
