Yes, cheers Al.
Me and BitTorrent have an understanding and as a result get on just
fine, but it is nice to just click on a link sometimes!
I agree about paper Vic, andI can't get on with electronic documents if
any serious volume is involved, but then I look at the growing pile of
outdated technical books in the loft with concern, too.
I used to read LF but found it was always little behind Slashdot and the
various other news sites, and that the articles could lag a little too
in terms of references to the latest versions of software, etc., under
discussion, for obvious reasons I guess.
