Unrelated: I still get an unreasonable bit of joy whenever I see a picture of the manuals for Turbo Pascal and Turbo C.

@craigmaloney I still have the tattered TI Extended BASIC manual on my shelf that I learned to program with when I was 5-6
I don’t think I’ll ever let it go, even though the computer itself has been lost
@zigg Would you believe I have a shelf of old computer manuals, including the Atari Basic manual and tutorial from my first computer?
Something powerful about those old manuals.
@craigmaloney @zigg And the haunting refrain, "This page intentionally left blank."
Seriously, though, manuals in 3-ring binders so you could add/change chapters as things updated? How cool.
