I just got the new Japanese copy of Core Memory. They did a really good job — it looks fantastic. Of course I can’t comment on the translation exactly, but for all of his diligence and attention to detail, I’d say that translator Masao Kamosawa must have really done a great job. Thank you to him and editor Hideo Tamura (and of course the original editor, Alan Rapp).
I’m going to Japan next week to give a few talks. I will try to take pictures, and talk with all the interesting people I know I’ll meet.
