Hey, want to buy a copy of the IBM-1130 FORTRAN manual...?

Is it a first edition, signed copy or the edition lining the bottom of pet stores the world over?

Hmm. Good Stuff.
What about "Peter Norton. Inside the IBM PC"
The one with the in-depth description of the IBM-PC cassette-player interface...
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

I still have an "Introduction To Computers" book I used in college that talks about card readers. I'm sure glad that we don't have to deal with those any longer!!!

Is it just me or do tech books suffer from the most awful titles? They are incredibly long.
Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Core Reference
Programming C# : Building .NET Applications with C#
Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java
Practical Guidelines and Best Practices for Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C# Developers
I don't see the sense of having "Microsoft ASP.NET" when "ASP.NET" will suffice. Or "Building .NET Applications with C#" when "Building applications with C#" will suffice. It isn't going to be "Building Java Applications with C#" now is it?
I only bring this up as I am listing all the books in the office and my web-app has to truncuate nearly every single book title. And that is before you get into things like 2nd, 3rd, 4th and nth editions.

Are you sure it's the app and not just a bad stick of memory or something. I use VS2005 daily and I've never had it crash.

I don't mind long titles so much, it's the Crystal Reports poster boy that's getting to me.

Hello,
I leave all my books at home. I just started with my graduation project and I bought all my books before. I might move them to the office when I need them there. I won't leave my books there since I don't have any private space there.
Anybody else working in a so called flex-office?

Hello to everybody,
I'm trying to call a function in a win32 dll; the documentation, written in C++, for the dll reports the calling convention as:
SHORT Start (UCHAR ucNumCom, ULONG usSpeed)
In a module, I wrote the following line:
Declare Function Start Lib "abc.dll" (ByVal ucNumCom As Char, ByVal usSpeed As UInt64) As Short
Then I wrote the following code (in the click event of a button)
Start(CStr(serialPort).Chars(0), speed)
(where serialPort is a string variable and speed is a UInt64 one).
The dll function executes and returns me an error code of InvalidParameter; don't get me wrong: i don't fall in any Try...Catch branch.
Is there anybody out there who can help me?
Thanx in advance
Marco Turrini

Techy books that don't come with a PDF version should be sent back to the publisher with a big note saying "Gutenberg died in 1468, get with the times!"
eVersions of books are great if for no other reason than searching.
