Well, if it's any consolation Dave, I knew your book was available 
online and still bought it.  
It's a great book, and I'm now a huge Ruby fan.  I already have 3 Ruby 
books on my shelf.  Not bad after only learning the language 2 weeks 
ago!  See what you did to me?  :)
For me, the fact that the book is available in HTML-Help format has been 
the single-biggest (for me at least) benefit of your making the book 
available online.
Being able to do searches/index lookups at will, and have it bring up 
'real' help has been >extremely< beneficial to my learning of Ruby.

So...
    THANK YOU!  :>
