NMH: I'm So Old III

Tim O'Reilly edition.

  • GNNPress was kewl!!

  • I forgive you for putting TCL in GNNServer, but then again the scripting languge pickings were pretty slim back then.
  • A Camel for the Perl book? Brilliant!!
  • When hacking an X Windows (not X-Windows) server for OS/2 on the 80286, I always had a copy of the O'Reilly manuals handy. X10 no less!!
  • Of course, that traumatizing experience convinced me that James Gosling and Sun's NeWS was infinitely better. Still waiting for a popular GUI infrastructure with non-rectangular windows baked in and easy to use.
  • Regarding The NeWS Book: first hip-hop quote in a tech book I ever saw. Who knew Gosling listened to LL Cool J?
