I saw HOPL II at a local Borders, and I think I'll kick myself a
few more times for not buying it in the spot. On the other hand,
a friend just lent me the Baloon issue of byte, and it's next on
my platter after Chamond Liu.

Yeah. I'm not really much of a fan of social determinism or decon-
struction. On the other hand, I do like the read about the local
culture that surrounds the development community, and the stories
which focus on the individuals and their contributions to the way a
system or language turns out.
