@hisdeedsaredust yeah, I hear you. I'm kind of weird in that I keep some way out of date technical books because of what they meant to me at the time. But they take up valuable space, and are basically useless except as mementos.

@edsu No. These are the only two Perl books I have left. I’m not really a keep-it-because-it-might-be-valuable kind of person 😉

@edsu I jumped on HTML 4 as soon as possible and used to use James Clark’s nsgmls to make sure everything was validated, so I would trip over as few rendering quirks as possible. I also have some #retrocomputing books that will stay with me (some pictured). The ZX Spectrum was my first computer, Foley and Van Dam was comprehensive, writing a #PostScript interpreter on Apollo workstations was my final year project, and I still love the #Z80.
@hisdeedsaredust ZX81 was my first computer. Respect for PostScript experience. I was just writing BASIC programs to generate D&D characters back then.
