Or little else, for that matter. I seem to recall one character in the book that would routinely slide under a "mainframe" on his back as if on a mechanics dolly, solder CPUs to the motherboard above his face, and perform all manner of bullshit on the fly repairs that never even existed back in the earliest days of mid-20th century computing. I don't recall anything else of a technical nature that made a lick of sense and the story was only further insulting by the mass of alleged super geniuses that could barely tie their own shoelaces, etc. etc. Reading the one star reviews of this book on Amazon is far more enlightening & entertaining than reading the actual book. I found it so insulting that I couldn't finish the last 70 pages of the paperback. -Gary
