HP, one-stop shopping for all your business needs;-) Message #1 Posted by bill platt on 3 Feb 2006, 10:24 a.m. http://www.homeandoffice.hp.com/hho/cache/422-0-0-225-121.html

Re: HP, one-stop shopping for all your business needs;-) Message #2 Posted by Les Bell on 3 Feb 2006, 7:34 p.m., in response to message #1 by bill platt Three quite interesting articles there, Bill - thanks for the link. As someone who works from home a lot of the time, I'll take all the help I can get. My office looks like the one in http://h71036.www7.hp.com/hho/cache/425-0-0-39-121.aspx, only it has many more books in the shelves (actually, here's an old pic - it's even worse now). And on the other side of the office, there's another 2 meter tall bookshelf, with one shelf full of HP calculator manuals and maths books. Any tips that can save space are welcome!

Re: cleaning up Message #3 Posted by Randy on 3 Feb 2006, 9:07 p.m., in response to message #2 by Les Bell Toss anything more than ten years old in the bin. Except for maybe the one volume of Knuth (why only one?)... A Win95 resource guide... very useful :-)

Re: cleaning up Message #4 Posted by Les Bell on 3 Feb 2006, 10:02 p.m., in response to message #3 by Randy Consider the Win95 and NT resource kits gone, Randy. I've also tossed the books on ancient Slackware and Caldera Linux. But I'm keeping the books on REXX and PL/I for sentimental reasons. ;) As for Knuth - all three volumes are there - Vol 1 ("Fundamental Algorithms") is in green paperback form and is hidden behind the other two - Volume 3 is slightly obscuring Vol. 2, so that might be why they look like one, but you can *just* make out the two Addison Wesley logos at the bottom of the spines. In any case, your eyesight is excellent! Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

Re: cleaning up Message #5 Posted by Randy on 3 Feb 2006, 10:39 p.m., in response to message #4 by Les Bell I never knew they had been published in paperback. It's absolutely amazing what one can learn when discussing calculators! PS: Your overloaded shelf caused me to do some cleaning as well. A bunch of Delphi and old VB stuff got the pitch. My three volumes of Knuth, original issue Intel 8008 and 8080 manuals will never go!
