 Good Beer? 
 Nice surroundings (beer garden in summer/open fire in winter)?
 Food that can be ate in bar?
 Lots of seating?
 Quiet (i.e. you can hear each other talk)?
 Central to ``business'' London?

Can we add accessibility to the list?  The main reason I  haven't been
to many social meets recently is that i would have to climb stairs to
get to you all and then climb down loads of stairs to get to the loo
(e.g. Barrowboy and Banker).  At least the PO I climb down to get to
you all and the loos are on the same level (good)...

They should run, not walk, to sourceforge, and get mutt for Win32.

I have tried www.sourceforge.net and i get a server / dns error.

I have also tried mutt.sourceforge.net which resolves OK but does not 
mention a win32 version.

Any more pointers?  I want to try this out!  :)

  PC-Pine is suitable only for small children recovering from major surgery.

...and maybe people who prefer a GUI?  :)

Well I have both The Matrix and MIB with me on DVD and a DVD capable

Vote to decide if they should put Mastering Regular Expressions or the

The problem being that I think they should include both and there is noway 
of voting for both!  :-)

Hmmm. For my money the Cook Book has more everyday use(s) than MRE, so I'd
vote for that. But, from the perspective of having the first edition of the
CD Bookshelf, it would be nice to have MRE in HTML form too!

AOLI agree/AOL

Which begs the question of why don't ORA *add* MRE to the CD bookshelf and
charge a few dollars more for it? It'd still be great value, and it's not as
if they're short of space on the CD (IIRC the files only use 25% or so of
the disk).

I'd pay the extra!
