The good old days. We had a bunch of X terminals hooked up with thin net to some HP735 servers in college.

In those good old days my Uni was giving away those bulky Unix "manuals" (after every major upgrade they were refreshing the documentation/dossiers) and they would leave on a table a few dozens of the 'outdated' ones. Everyone would grab one and it was a first-come-first-served, and you could end up in a 'useless' dossier, but still they were amazing reads.

I miss the days of useful manuals. They were hard and expensive to write, but they had a wealth of technical information that is often impossible to find today.
