Anything having to do with the programming of computers, or how to approach programming computers, and not covered by other sections, is stuck here. That means you might find a lot of similar information in the Apple section, or even in the computer section. A good portion of these files might seen out of date or irrelevant, but in fact show the initial approaches to programming concepts (like cryptography, artifical intelligence, and security) that apply very strongly to this day.
