From the Bookshelf: The Soul of a New Machine

Years ago, I picked up from a library used book sale a copy of Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine," a book about an advanced minicomputer being built in the late 1970s, and never quite read most of it. That wasn't quite the end of it, though, as at a more recent book sale I saw another copy of the book, and for some reason or another I decided to take another try at it. This time, I finished it with no trouble. What the difference between then and now is, I don't quite know.
( Perhaps not quite a 'new machine' any more )
