But if I am wanting to learn I much much prefer books. If I have a book I can have three or four fingers in different places e.g. Fingers in troubleshooting steps which refers to appendix B and a chart of page 182. I find the hard copy also gives you a spatial sense of where you are in the process e.g front of book = familiarise, middle of book = howto, back of book = troubleshoot. I'm just about to hit half of my 3 score and ten. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
