<rant length="short"> It seems to have become /de reigeur/ to include some deprecating comment along with every mention of wikipedia, for no good reason. Wikipedia has a *huge* amount of information, and most of it is perfectly fine. In particular, articles related to math and computer science tend to be fairly accurate, because a lot of folks with skills in that area look at the articles all the time. Now, if you're looking at the history of the Iraq war, the Armenian genocide, the hockeystick graph, or the glowing article about some guy you've never heard of, then you've got a good chance of being misled. Caveat emptor, but sometimes you can be confident you've got a good product for a fair price. </rant> Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
