in reply to YAC (Yet Another Challenge): Oldest Useful Computer Text

The book that got me really interested in computers:

Structured Computer Organization by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, (maker also of minix, way back the starting point for Linus' Linux).

I don't have the book here, its probably somewhere late seventies.

There is a 5th edition by now (which I don't have).
