About networked

Check out my favorites. I favorite comments about programming languages, operating systems, databases, and computer history and other interesting and amusing comments.

I have a website/personal wiki with a collection of links on various subjects: https://dbohdan.com/.

I edit my comments a lot (sorry).

My username means "connected to a network", not "network Ed". :-)
