(Good thing I caught the boob typo in the thread title. 😱)

I was recently given a legit disk of Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1. Since I'm gonna upgrade my CPU-Mobo/RAM soon (Phenom II 955 should come out around April 20-23), I stopped at the local Chapters and bought this 1500+pp brick that covers this OS extensively, including SP1. Should keep me busy for the next couple of weeks.

I bought a similar 'bible' for XP 6-7 years ago and it was quite useful when I upgraded from Windows 98.:thumbsup:

And it's been gorgeous out here the last few days.🙂
 
I bought three at once last time I went to the bookstore because they were used and extremely cheap.

Souls in the Great Machine by Sean McMullen - Never heard of this guy or this book before, but the synopsis on the cover looked interesting.

To Sail Beyond the Sunset by Robert A. Heinlein - What's that? A Heinlein book I haven't read yet? Impossible. I don't even care what it's about. I have to read it.

Nemesis by Isaac Asimov - Another author whose works I have mostly read, but not this one. Asimov has always been a sure thing for quality entertainment in the past. I expect this one to be no different.
 
Paine: Collected Writings including Common Sense, The Crisis, The Rights of Man, The age of Reason, and other pamphlets articles and letters

Also a book on WW2 that follows the wartime path of Kurita, Ukita, Halsey, Nimitz, and another American commander whos name I can't remember
 
Why Evolution is True, Jerry Coyne.

A good collection of scietific evidence in support of evolution by natural selection. My favorite line so far is something along the lines of this: Evolution is a theory in the same way that gravity is a theory.
