But, without a movie.

  Anyone who watched the Andromeda Strain movie but didn't read the book (preferably at an impressionable age) really missed out on some awesome sauce.

    Of course I read it, back when. But people don't read books anymore, do they? Favorite recent book lately is by Don Eyles, "Sunburst and Luminary", about developing the Apollo lunar landing software. I bought it off the website below, which delivered quickly without fuss. http://sunburstandluminary.com/ http://sunburstandluminary.com/ I take the opportunity to remember Hal Laning (d. 2012), the person who programmed the executive task management "OS" on the Apollo Guidance Computer, that saved Apollo 11. He gets too little recognition. He created, too, credibly the first compiler ever.

      Eyles is sitting on my desk, up next in the queue. Good to hear it's worthwhile.
