i just finished reading your book this morning, and i feel like im talking to a long time friend. It was a suggested/”required” reading at the University of Virginia, where i will be studying engineering not too long from now. So for one, that’s a little side note to feel proud about(having entering engineer students at UVa read your book and all). But your book has inspired me to learn about UNIX and what is does and how to use it, ect. I was contemplating on asking you questions, but i’d rather not bother you and i mostly want to figure it out on my own. But it’s great that you have this website up, and good luck at Harvard. Will you be a first year/freshman?
