What, you mean you _paid_ for service pack '98?

I bought some old C books once. One for $3 and one for $5.
The cheap one was for PC C, but the other one actually
mentioned POSIX :) It worked great and now I'm one of the
core VM guys...
It doesn't have to be that expensive to get a nice C book,
just get a cheap one and pick yourself some piece of kernel
or userland code to use instead of book-provided example
code. Learning on something new is more fun as well :)
succes,
Rik.
