Just this week I passed on my late friend Rob Warnock’s first edition copy of “The Design
and Implementation of the 4.3BSD” book to a FreeBSD user who was very happy to discover it
was signed by Leffler & McKusick!
[I need to make an online list of all the tech books I want to give away….]

The license plate
A photo of a UNIX brand fire extinguisher.
A first edition of "UNIX for Dummies" (no surprise there)
A print of a draft of The Complete FreeBSD 4th ed. signed by Greg Lehey. Still sitting
in its original manila envelope by my desk.
A friend (thanks .ike!) got it and gifted it to me when I ended up in the hospital the
night before I was supposed to attend BSDCan '05 and couldn't attend. Lots of
sentimental value for me in that one for me.
