Scott Robert Ladd seems to have written a new book on parallel programming for Springer Verlag that I can’t find anywhere, so I’m assuming he just turned it in.
I’m surprised he turned it in to Springer Verlag; he’s quite readable, and from my recollections of them, Springer Verlag books tend to be a bit dry and academic, with thin and reedy fonts that are a drag on the eyes. Of course, I could be wrong, but I don’t have any Springer Verlags in my library.

Contended with a fundamentalist today. It was interesting to note where my grasp of apologetics is not as strong as it could be. We agreed on Christ, but I disputed with him on the doctrines of Mary, apostolic succession, and purgatory, as well as his grasp of the history of the early Church. (Note to self: read up on purgatory.) Luckily, he left his New Testament in his car and his powers of biblical quotation was weak.

DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq, Tandy, and millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million machines in use wordwide.
