Just to say I'm thouroughly enjoy The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll as mentioned/recommended by John at the last LUG You can find out more here, but don't spoil it for yourself by reading too much on wikipedia and borrow the book from me instead! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg Just one of the many unexpected joys of the LUG!
