I guess I'm not as sensitive to price as I am intent on acquiring what I need to achieve my goals as best I can. I always saw a computer as a tool to communicate with people and as a tool for my photography, I was never interested in building one. I've bought Macs because I wanted the shortest p

Just a nitpick, but the memoir is explicitly not in the public domain. It's publicly accessible (or at least parts of it are), but that's not the same thing. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 01:01:23PM +0200, Henk Terhell wrote: > As a side issue, the relevant part of Kildall's memoir has been issued in
