I had another round of an ancient computer books reading. I started with The Hacker's Handbook which is pretty interesting in a huge amount of knowledge that hackers needed to have in the old times, when no common protocols were used and every service had it's own way of dealing with the data and connections. Technically, the book is obsolete, but I like the mindset of it's author. Go and learn as much as you can, you never know when the knowledge comes in handy!

Second book is a good summary of Cambridge Computer's Z88. That small piece of computing wonder fascinate me so much that I bought one (actually 3 of them, 1 working, second one fixed and third one to be fixed yet) during the read and I am playing with it now. The book is a great one for beginners, the manual is a bit too brief sometimes.
