RE: [OT] Safari
Just seen this, interested by the safari site, whats the feedback on it's usefulness? Sounds too good to be true! (if my company'd pay for it too! ) My company did the 30-day (or whatever) trial subscription thingie and I was one of the people selected to evaluate the service. The selection of books was excellent, but the user interface and the tools provided for you were somewhat...um...unpolished. This was 6 months ago. They may have improved since then. I, personally, found that the service is more valuable when you're learning something new instead of when you're using it as a reference. Since 90% of my time reading technical books is for reference, I felt the service had not that much to offer me. YMMV. The service is expensive (for corporate accounts). We decided that it was too expensive for the benefit and did not continue our subscription after the trial period. Convince your company do get the trial subscription and you can try the service yourself. It costs nothing. -TPP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Me thinks the odds of finding a 3-legged prancing pony may be pretty low. :-) Would you use a 32- or 64-bit .272? And when would you or I find the time? We're always in the bloody office!
