My fingers, too, were trained so long ago. The ls command? -lastF no matter what version. Still find myself using /more/ rather than /less/ or any of the more modern versions. Yep, there are still a few dinosaurs left…

- hyperman1 4y agoI got your book before I got my first 80386 based computer. I upgrade from ps ax to ps axu, but apart from that, you learned me some UNIX before I got a computer. What I remember most of the book is the talks with Luis Alvarez, and the influence it had on how you examined the attacker. So while you didn't turn me into a (professional) astronomer, you might have managed to turn me into a scientist. BTW, even if the computer stuff is completely outdated, the problem solving attitude that speaks out of the book is a reason why I still recommend it to youngsters. I recently bought an English edition to read it in the original language, too. BTW2, regarding dinosaurs, my old professor could never get the hang of this new-fangled windows stuff. We always saw him struggling with notepad, typing stuff like :wq in it and cursing when it didnt work. One day, we took pity on him and installed cygwin and a windows-compatible vi. Good times ;-)
