Unix-Haters Handbook available as free PDF
You won't get the UNIX Barf Bag (I've got mine) but if you missed the era of operating systems before Windows and Unix/Linux, then
The Unix Hater's Handbook would be a good introduction to some of what used to be available before the "Worse is Better" operating systems took over the world. I like Linux, only because it's preferable to the alternatives, but not because it's the best that we could be doing.
In my more cynical/despairing moments, I like to tell people that computer scientists regularly reinvent the wheel, doing it a little bit worse each time around.
