Computer Networking for Dummies

I was organizing my collection of books today and found this guide to Alternative London which I purchased while living there in 1983-1984.



I was about to toss it since it's outdated. However, I flipped it open to a section on computers, specifically networking, an you have to read this. Obviously, books are like fine wine. A reference book in one decade can transform itself into a humor book with a new life in another decade or two.



There's another equally humorous entry entitled "Bigger Micros."
£4,000-£7,000* will buy a more powerful general purpose micro capable of handling an integrated accounting system for a business, or some other task of similar complexity.

[...]

Usually they use 8" floppy disks as standard, and hard disks can be added at extra cost.

*£4,000-£7,000 = about $8,000-$14,000 at current exchange rates.

Thank God for the 21st century!

I sеldom leaνe a resρonѕe, but after reading thгough
a few of thе remarks here "Computer Networking for Dummies".
I actually do have a couple of queѕtions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or do some of the comments come across like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
