I just started learning Ruby 1 month ago, and your book online was the 
primary reason I got hooked.  If it were not available, I probably would 
not have learned Ruby.

I'm too poor right now to get books (and I have a long list of books 
that I want) so I really appreciate having it online.  As soon as I have 
some more disposable income, I will certainly be purchasing it. 
(Probably the new edition, at the rate I'm going)
