Notes from the Electronic Cottage 11/12/09

Producer/Host: Jim Campbell

Back in July of 2004, in response to some listener requests, we took a look at a couple of books that are both good reads and very helpful in leading to a better understanding of the electronic world we live in. Those books are just as relevant today as the Electronic Cottage approaches it’s tenth anniversary as they were back in the summer of 2004.
