X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-chat@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What if the FreeBSD Book was published like some cookbooks. A shrink wrapped set of three ring hole punched papers with index pages and a small binder (Fiction Hardback sized.) Then people could subscribe to the updates, and FreeBSD could just mail out the sections that have changed. This would mean that the entire book does not have to be reprinted every time there is a change, and the wastage of old paperwork would be much less because you would only remove the sections that have gone out of date. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
