Huang's advertisement for his own book has left me with some
questions. 

Since this is described as a laboratory book, I think it is
fair to ask the advertisement to contain some information about
the "equipment" that this lab will use. There are plenty of
book on the market that sound interesting but which turn out
to make rather specific assumptions about the hardward and/or
software one will be using. A welcome change from that is 
The Art of Computer Programming, by D.E.Knuth, which does
all of the work on a fictitious machine designed in imitation
most of the leading computers at the time the book was written.
