Of course I'm joking. I actually print out three copies in case I lose both 
the original and the backup.

I used to really like computer books back in the day. But now with all the 
reference material available via man pages and out on the web it's been ages 
since I've bought a computer book. The other problem for books is that 
things change so rapidly that a book is often out of date by the time it's 
released.

I never used a PDP-11. My first *nix experience was with Ultrix running on a 
MicroVAX. It ran DEC-windows so opening up multiple terminals was trivial. I 
don't remember what the actual resolution was on the Ultrix workstations but 
the monitors seemed amazing compared to the typical PC monitor.
