Computer Book Titles We Probably Won't See

Category: Online life

Quite a few years ago, I was be a member of the Computer Book Author list. In 1997 someone started a thread saying he was going to write a book with the tongue-in-cheek title of Stranger in a Strange LAN.

In response others announced "new" titles to go with it. Here are some of the better ones....

  • I'm working on "Fear and Loathing" in 21 Days, the sequel to my bestselling technical/literature breakthrough, "Moby-Mac." --Christian Crumlish

    The rest are from Daniel Dern, who said he was busily not working on:

  • Forget Java in 21 Minutes
  • The Netscape Navigator Guide to Microsoft Bugs
  • MSIE 4.0, Users 0
  • We Got to the Moon on 32K and Now I Need 64M Just to Write a Memo, and
  • WebCams of the Rich and Famous: Peeking in on Bill and Other People Who Don't Know A Lot About IP Security
