I would have been more active if there was some kind of virus in there. The To: Headers are ofcourse different: collinsj, cribbsj, Daniel Bolt and Daniel Berger in addition to myself. Oh and I didn't get the first zip which obviously contains Ruby Way and Ruby in a Nutshell. I didn't really react to it because apart from the Lua/Ruby book (which is not really my playground) I have a dead tree copy of the others (even the ones I didn't get). Thinking about it the Pickaxe 2nd Ed. is really handy as a reference therefore nice to have as PDF, but the PP Book is really worth it's weight in gold so better get the version that has weight :) V.- -- http://www.braveworld.net/riva ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.freemail.gr - ������ �������� ������������ ������������. http://www.freemail.gr - free email service for the Greek-speaking.
