That one looks like it could be handy to help me in assisting some of my school clients save some additional $$, so I've been thinking of picking that one up myself, but I'm trying to pace my spending for the summer. Wish I were special like Uri! ;) > so we will have to come up with a way to award these books to worthy > pm'ers. any ideas are welcome. I was going to recommend whoever could toss a stone closest to O'Reilly Headquarters, but since I've moved away from Boston and am now pretty much within walking distance of it, people might take issue with that proposal. But then that got me thinking... How about a "Camel Book Toss"? ;) Basically, whoever can toss their copy of Programming Perl the farthest wins. Modifications to increase distance (as long as it's not motorized) and/or prevent damage to said book are permitted. Hey, you can't expect to win something without taking on a a little bit of risk! 3 books up for grabs, 3 tries to win one; but to help spread the love and maintain fairness, a person can only win once. Then again, perhaps, the physicality of it would be too preclusive. However you did say "any ideas are welcome". Anyways, if you guys actually do this someone better post a video for me! > thanx, > > uri > No, thank you for sharing in your largess, kind sir!
