>>Also just did a quick count and find I have about 80 software books in the office (some of them laughably outdated :-} )

>A row of a bookcase I promised I would clear to make space for my daughter's books has all the books I used in my Novell's CNE course, some are beautiful books, completely outdated and useless, but I am dreading the day when I'll fulfill my promise :(

Still on my shelf:
'The programmers guide to the IBM PC' - Peter Norton. 'The ultimate reference guide to the entire family of IBM personal computers'
'DOS programmers reference' . 'The ULTIMATE DOS and BIOS reference.'
Complete set of SCO FoxBASE+ User Manuals. (takes up about 3')
'Developing ActiveX for Visual Basic 5'
'Computer Music in C' - 'Compose with a set of C Functions'
'Programming Windows '95' - Charles Petzold.
'Zorland C Compiler'

And, to cap it all, 'The 8086 Book'. (Osborne/McGraw Hill). 'Includes the 8088' !!!

And I think there's even older stuff stacked in the attic......
