If you chuck the Knuth, you'd better not admit it in the Lounge. There are ways to find out your address. ;)

In the UK they do. A google search for uk:computer user group returns nearly half a billion hits. Whilst admittedly not all of them would be valid, at least 90% of the first few pages are.

The Knuth was my first programming book. "Learning curve" was not a phrase they had invented then... :laugh:

I'm moving the computers and setting up a office in a room we don't use much, so I'm clearing it out first. This has stuff in boxes that I haven't opened since we moved in - nearly 8 years ago. So, I'm going to be ruthless! Honest... Oooh look! One of Michelles silver cat earings - oh, and a silver chain. She hasn't even noticed they are gone. Books! Newman and Sproull: "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics" Knuth: "The Art Of Computer Programming, Fundamental Algorithms" The complete documentation for Visual C++ Version 1.0 QuickC for Windows original Manual! Microsoft Quick C for DOS manual! And they will have to go to the tip! They are way too heavy to sell on FleaBay - the postage costs would cripple it, and the local charity shops won't want them. How can I chuck this stuff? :((

The last three I would just put in the recycle bins. Period. They are far too technical for products that no longer exist. I still have my copies of Newman and Sproull and Knuth. About a year ago I had to break out the "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics" to brush up on my knowledge of polygon clipping.

According to Heisenberg, observing a thing changes it. Does reading history change the past?
