Never the less, the tips is still very valid, and useful in a sense that it allows people to learn about tools lot of people have forgotten about. col(1) for instance which is still very useful. when I see how lots of people are reinventing col(1) all the time in sed,awk,python,etc... I think having tips that tell them col(1) and other utilities do exist is a good idea.
