Spell check? We don't NEED no stinkin' spell check.

Humour? sometimes it's just hard to recognize when you've spent the last 8
hours struggling with a chapter that does NOT want to be written and then
you put in some late night hours on the newsgroup, trying to catch up.

Hi, Charlie.

OK. I'll look for the 3rd Edition next time I get to a good computer
bookstore. But I hope I can find a way to pay for just the new pages. ;^}
I hate to pay again for all those pages I've already read. Maybe I'll wait
until after the Summit and see what I learn there.
