This is the book that inspired me to learn assembly language. I had it on almost permanent loan from the local library. Bought this mint copy a couple of years ago. Mine has the alternate spelling of Toni on the cover.

I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You".
Thanks, Tubi. Thubi.

Hoy pensaba que el golpe de 1930 está apenas más lejos del de 1976 que el de 1976 de ahora. Si a los pibes ahora 1976 les suena tan lejano como a mí me sonaba 1930, entiendo un poco mejor por qué no aprendemos nada como país.
