Just for the book (pun intended), I was only mildly enthused, not anywhere
close to excited.

Now that 30 year old picture of my wife I found buried in the garage
yesterday THAT was exciting  :-)

 Anyone need/want the original JES pick basic book, here's your chance 
 to pick it up for a mere $10 spot, give or take a few cents.

This market could Really use new books that include platform-specific

modern concerns.  But in a market that gets excited about $10 books that are
over 20 years old, there's just no incentive for authors to create the

Re: [U2] [semi-ot] JE Sisk basic book on the eBay

2011-11-10 Thread Holt, Jake
I'd agree with those people, but from a different angle.  If I can't
find a specific answer in the docs through a search engine, the docs are
worthless to me (and I'm far from alone in this).  This is why I think
Rocket needs to ditch the logins and make all of the documentation
library public.

Right now, a lot of searches result in the same set of old dynamix docs.


Books you buy suffer from the same problem.  This issue isn't unique to
the U2 platform.

Since this thread is already labeled semi-ot, thought I'd throw this out
there:

It's a Pick Systems marketing video from 1990 that someone posted to
YouTube.  Might be interesting for anyone new to Pick and curious about
its origins.  I enjoyed it purely for nostalgia.

This market could Really use new books that include
platform-specific nuances, communications with different
languages and protocols, and other modern concerns.  But in a
market that gets excited about $10 books that are over 20 years
old, there's just no incentive for authors to create the
material.  I was in a MV user group meeting a couple years ago
where the consensus was that no one reads documentation anyway so
why bother writing or maintaining it.  WTH?  We've collectively
created the market that we live in, and it's being killed off by
