As Homer Simpson says in one episode: "It's funny Because it's true!" That's Exactly what puts it straight When talking about Dave Barry's book. As a computer expert and software engineer I've first read it in the German translation around 1998 and I laughed my head off back then. Now, in the wonderful year 2013 I remembered deed book and somehow felt like I should buy the English original. And what can I say? It's fantastic! It's even Miles and miles better than the German translation - Which, do doubt, is good, but for whatever reason leaves out some hilarious parts and Paragraphs. And amazingly Dave Barry's book is silent up to date. The Computerworld May Have Changed, but the weird problems and trouble with crazy Those "not so magical" machines is the same now and then.
Recommendable to everyone who has at least a tiny bit of experience with computers. Trust me, you'll laugh yourself to tears!
