[Barry Pretsell]

embargo has been due to foot and mouth, embargo is bi-directional and covers
meat as well.

Why do Manning sell their books online as pdf files? and do they plan to
stop it
now that rampant copying is taking place?

O'Reilly Safari - anyone use it?

[Barry Pretsell]

I'm interested to know if anyone uses Safari to 
read O'Reilly books online.
http://safari1.oreilly.com/tablhom.asp?home
 
It sounds like a good idea (must be better than 
having 3 editions of Programming Perl) and I'm tempted to give it a go, so any 
Safari subscribers out there with an opinion?
