Iron Maiden concert was mad, violent, loud, melodic, a dream, exhaustive, great trip, mostly bad opening acts, and a great great great show, probably the biggest rock/metal concert to happen in the country. Why did it get over so quickly?

We aren’t typical users. We’re programmers. The x86 commodity PC is the essential, ultimate tool of our craft. It’s the end product of 30 years of computer evolution. And it’s still evolving today, with profound impact on the way we code. If you treat your PC like an appliance you plug into a wall, you’ve robbed yourself of a crucial lesson on the symbiotic relationship between software and hardware. The best way to truly understand the commodity PC is to gleefully dig in and build one yourself. Get your hands dirty and experience the economics of computer hardware first hand– the same economics that have shaped the software industry since the very first line of code was stored in memory.
