You just never know when there might be a radio telescope you'd want to control.

Right.

I'm keeping mine safe.

Don't! I threw out an expensive Symbian Epoc programming book plus SDK CD last year, who programs for the Psion anymore? Then this year found I could have done with it for programming Nokia phones. If you throw away a book on Forth it will be next year's in thing.

My monitor stand is made up of Design Patterns, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlisides, and The Art of Agile Programming by Shore and Warden. Best use I've found for them.

I've seen that done, although I'd have though a ream of A4 copier paper would me more useful.

Yup, found that one too. I thought I'd keep that - sort of a classic 'n all. I've got a 1st Ed K&R somewhere.

Also found Meyers, Effective C++; I was planning to hang on to that too, but I'm not sure why.

I've stacked lots of old books as wall insulation for the dogs kennel / bicycle repair station.

COM is a useful skill. I use it right now, without any of that ATL stuff.

saw a contract a while back (months not years) for someone with a long list of legacy skills to develop on windows 3.1 for about £800 a day.

If you see it again, please tell me.

I still have use VC6 to build some legacy stuff.

Used IT books unfortunately don't sell for much (if at all) on eBay due to the cost of postage.

I managed to sell my ITIL v2 books on eBay for £15 each including postage - but only because they were in immaculate condition and cost £65 each when new. The postage on each of them was £6!

Just looking for a book and I found these two.

MSCD Training Kit : Desktop Applications with Visual C++ 6.0 and the VB equiv.

I found Wrox books on ATL COM too.

It's GOT to be more than six or seven years since I've looked at them.
