There's a used book store in dinkytown down the block from Espresso Royale. In the basement, they have *tons* of old computer books from the 70's and 80's, and they are all cheap. Lots of interesting stuff there since it's near the U of MN campus. I got myself a TRS-80 assembly language book there for 50 cents. :) One day, Linux will boot off an audio tape....
