I really, really want "Shift Happens". I'm sure it is worth $150 dollars, but I can't afford that.
If you love keyboards, history, and can afford it:

Thanks! It was fun to revisit some of that history and to learn parts I didn't know
Thank also, of course, for being there at the beginning to help get this thing started
"Journey of the Sorcerer" feels like a window onto a hidden history, or maybe two histories.
I mean, it's not the Eagles that anyone expects. And it's not what most folks would remember as a globally significant science-fiction theme. Yet it's both of those things.
Computer Languages in the order I learned (to some extent) them-after 42 years the order may be wrong: BASIC (Sinclair ZX80 & ZX81), dbase II (Osborne 1), Apple Logo (][), Assembler (VICMON Vic 20), dBase IV/FoxPro, Pascal, COBOL, Assembler (IBM something), RPG II/III, C (Kernighan & Ritchie), long break, more to life than computers? Postscript, HTML/CSS (are these languages?), Bash, Perl, SQL, PHP (3 just out), JS. First experience with a computer: Fortran on punch cards. #geekHistory

Computer history peeps: Check this out: https://ban.ai/multics/ - I am totally envious of these people's free time,a nd WHAT a cool project! They're bringing back MULTICS and even backporting some UNIX tools. They've created a running system you can log into and collaborate on. Man, if I had the time, I would be diving into this with relish :)
