Thanks for all the writing. I read Cukoo's Egg when it came out and enjoyed but it took at least 10 years before I really followed it. As I remember I got started getting more involved in IT and Unix shortly after I read it and there would be conscious or even sub conscious moments were I'd be running some command or learning some networking concept and what I was learning at the moment would be a bit clearer for having read the book. Or maybe the book would be a bit clearer because I'd seen the reality on my screen.
