Agreed, and with ADAM and MIIS in the mix, I am sure solutions that incorporate them as well would be useful. Robbie was looking for suggestions on an ADAM Cookbook or Missing Manual. Could be an interesting collaboration, of course that would require the 28th hour of the day.

Gil may not own the rights to the book to do this even if he wants to. Personally I think he should update it and sell it. The first time around it was pretty early in the AD world without a huge number of adopters.
