Things like this just weren’t important to follow up on while I was writing :-) I wouldn’t have had time to read anyway.

One of these days I’m going to flex the binding on my brand-new copy of TCP/IP network administration, too.

Yeah, I asked about that and they wouldn’t give me one.

Do you have any word on how long it’ll take to get listed in Safari?

When O’Reilly said there would not be an electronic version, by the way, they meant that you won’t be able to go and pay some fee to download a PDF directly to your hard drive. That’s a different model from Safari, wherein you buy a subscription (or write a book and get a free subscription)and can read it online (you can’t download from safari either).

It seems to me that if someone is really concerned about the environment and being simple and fast, a Safari subscription is really a no-brainer. I, for one, like dead tree copies of things, but Safari has probably cut the number of books I buy physical copies of in half (more when you consider that you can get a whole bunch of publishers’ books through there, not just O’Reilly). So, I’m not a Safari salesperson, really, but I think Safari certainly does accomplish some environmental goals :)

Don’t really want to have to check for paperback errata & updates when an electronic solution is simpler, faster and considerably easier on the environment.
