I hever no idea why the book's title
included words related to dating.

", and Still Can't Get a Date" is
really redundant for a book about
stories of desktop computers.

Maybe the book is a fiction, not
history?? Maybe its author wanna
alert readers that information
and data in the book is not very
accurate.
