I couldn't miss the contrast of books vs. software. Doing any of the above with software would be criminal.

The fundamental nature of the book has not really changed by making it an eBook, so why should different rules apply? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
