whether it's Assembler
or wildcard characters
these are subject matters
make me wonder & ponder
software that I could still remember
I can recall & download from my Loader
new software continuously emerge
in them I submerge
I'll continue
to search & research
for bits & bytes
always make me excite
many that I've tried
I like & still like
in my memories they reside
others that bite
I may dislike
I send them out of sight
whether they abide or bite
day & night I recite
& they improve my eyesight
beats & bites
I mean, bits & bytes
these are my love @ 1st sight
so, I take a moment to write
& perhaps to give you some insight
about all my love @ 1st byte

Lin Hsin Hsin
She writes from her heart, from experiences inside, to give you some insight
What is wonderful about this volume is the pervasive air of overwhelming friendliness, warmth and accessibility, all of which naturally evolved as a consequence of her appreciation of the principles of computer user interface design. There are so many significant codes in this volume that I expect everyone who reads it to treasure it as I have.
Some of Hsin Hsin's poems are educational, presenting better-than textbook definitions and explanations for the difficult computer jargon and acronyms. In fact, I found the entire book was extremely entertaining, full of WYSIWYG humor and wit. The cartoons, the paintings and the melodic verses make it truly a Multimedia Poetry book.
