Great Reading

Raymond Chen, author of my very favorite web log The Old New Thing, has written a book with the same name. Now you can get a couple of bonus chapters from the book's site - great! I just have to say that I love it - just making a 33 points list to summarize how to not get your application to run in the Windows 95 MS-DOS prompt makes great reading. At least for the little technologist that lives in all of us. I still remember the joys of trying to writing my own feeble snippets of code doing something in extended mode. They probably would not run in Windows 95.

By the way - I've met him and can testify that he actually speaks Swedish :-)
