Vernor Vinge Motherlode

Finally found the rest of Vernor Vinge's works at the local book store today (Borders, Berjaya Times Square). Slurged on 4 of them: Tatja Grimm's World, Marooned in Realtime, Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge, The Peace War. Should be fun, Vinge's one of the few writers I dare to buy out right without research.

Adding to the pile, I got 3rd Ed. of Stevens' (and Fenner and Rudoff now) Unix Network Programming Volume 1. Had the hardcover 2nd ed, but don't know where that went. This new one is the more expensive (?!) softcover "International Edition".

'tis instant noodles for the forseeable future.
