Customer Reviews & Comments
A partly whimsical excursion into the nooks and crannies of computing, as offered by the editors of PC Magazine. Ostensibly, for each day in 2004, they offer 2 things. The first is a brief retrospective of a significant event in computing history on that day. Some of these recollections may leave you queasy. Was it really THAT long ago that this [event] happened? Strewth, it feels like yesterday! But the bulk of the discussion for each day is some recent article from the magazine. There is really little correlation, if any, between it and the nominal day entry under which it appears in this book. It is really best to treat this book as a stapling of recent articles spanning many computing topics. The quality of the essays is consistently high. There will be an element of serendipity here. Some essays might be spot on to your needs.
