Not that I don't like the new book, but I think it is too dry, a bit
boring to read. And the presentation of concepts (especially
algorithms) is kind of easier to read in Bach's old Unix book.
As I said, of course I like the book, but it *could* have been a bit
more fun to read :-)

Hard to tell running your calendar on a junk OS, eh?
