Do these publishers specifically ask for reviews in return for their donations? If so, I'll expand the challenge -- but I'll only be reviewing O'Reillys myself since since that's what I've read the most of. Or maybe an A-W or two. So, if Neil says the others ask for reviews, I'll pony up a review (up to 6 and in Feb) for any computer book review submitted to Kplug on a book that was (or might well have been) donated to the club. I'm not trying to be a hard-ass about this, I'm trying to get some review action going. But Kplug being what it is (and this is part of why I love being a member), we'll almost certainly spend ten times the time and effort debating the fine points of my challenge that we put into writing reviews. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
