There is a lot of good information in those books!!! > I'd forgotten about Sybex. But they came later, they were just about computers, while Sams and Tab covered hobby electronics and amateur radio. Hayden was decent. They were kind of in between, initially less technical, but put together well. But with the rise of small computers, they seemed to rise up as a source of books about those small computers. I have some Hayden Books (and I think they were bought by Sams, and maybe even at this point) about Unix, including at least one by O'Reilly, from the late eighties. I get the impression that experience, as an editor of a subset of Hayden books, helped him to go into the book business. Michael
