Overheard in ACM 210a

This quote comes from Tom Hou (who is teaching the class) on 3/6/07. I'm a little late in posting it. (I have several other things still in my backlog as well...)

Referring to the books that he chose for the class, he said, "But none of the books are very good."

Basically, it turns out that he chose one of them because it was ok (and there wasn't anything better) and chose the others before he bothered to check whether they were good. (Though I don't think there were many other choices for most of those topics either.)
