September 17, 1997, on The book behind the book behind the book...:
In the 80's I used to frequent the rather sparse nerd sections in book shops. The last McBook I bought was "The Complete C Referance", and it was. In the last 3 years I have regularly hunted through the mamoth editions of JAVA+++++, NT FOR LOSERS, etc in the vain hope of finding some useful information. I was worried that I'd fallen behind in the industry, as I can't be bothered reading the mindless bland crap which is being dished out. eg "Functions of EXCEL menu icons" Duuh Thank you for sharing your views on this issue. I will now continue to put my moral being at risk by sifting the uncensored, unsanitised information on the web. By the way, I assume you have read from John Steinback "Travels with Charlie" on the above subject.
