wait until you get to school, they might have a group account. i stumbled across a 'free chapter' link a while back and when i hit the safari site i found myself magicaly logged in as a 'user from the University of Foo' with access to all of the books. if not, bug the library and IT people. a site license for a University is probably costly, but worth it. our safari access disapeared as mysteriously as it appeared, it took a few emails about and a couple of weeks, but it's back. =P if i were paying for access i would probably setup a squid cache with long expiration times so i could check back over what i'd recently seen while on the road or in the park (with my laptop) but since it's sorta free i don't have the urge to protect my investment in information availability. i may not have figured out the right way to use the UI, currently i find it quite annoying to navigate the library and the books, and the pages are way too short so a lot of time is wasted 'turning the page'. otherwise it's quite nice to have so many books seconds away. real books are nice, but a pain to move every semester. plus they're often out of date after the 4 years you're using them (or at least a couple of editions behind, plus no corrections).
