Yes the office door stop as it was known as at our place. Top book though just faded in utility and no one had the heart to dispose of it because of the good memories.

Good book indeed, just that I wouldn't use a book to look up Win32 API functions.

Oh, the hours I'd spend browsing through tech books back in the day... good times.

Yeah, a good tech bookstore was a golden way to spend an hour.
