Michael has a writing style which I like a lot, but I haven't had a chance to read the second version yet. I've read the first version cover to back, however, and it was written in a very entertaining, elegant style. Judging from my experience with the first edition, I expect nothing less than what you just described :) - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
