It's apt that this issue has an obit for Tandy, the man who rescued Radio Shack in 1968... a company now on the brink of death.

When I first started working on The Joy of Clojure a sub-goal (aside from even completing it) was to create something that was useful and unique across different editions. This was motivated by the fantastic "Modern Operating Systems" by Tannenbaum.

Each edition covers the latest in OSDev tech but it also frames examples in slightly different example Ones, modern and historical. The case studies cover differing sets across different editions and the research sections in older editions typically feed the focus of later eds.
On top of all of that, the bibliographies act as fascinating snapshots of OSDev theory over time.

Truly it's worthwhile to read every edition of Modern Operating Systems and I hope that with JoC the same could be said of the 1st and 2nd editions.

You live in another timeline where your only computer is an Intel 386-based machine running MS-DOS 5.0.

What games are you playing, what is your dev environment, what are your productivity apps?
I'm playing DND by R.O.Software. Programming in Turbo C++. I'm writing in Wordstar and taking notes with KAMAS.
I would probably add JASSPA MicroEmacs to the computer as well.

I'm not familiar with the author David T. Craig. Any further information on his other works is appreciated.
This is going to be fun.

Retrocomputing find of the day. "Apple Pascal: A Hands On Approach" --> web.archive.org/web/2015040500…
This book is especially interesting because it required the reader to have an Apple II with a Microsoft Softcard installed.
The SoftCard was a plug-in board with a Z-80 processor that was used to run the embedded CP/M OS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-80_Soft…
