in reply to (OT) I prefer to do my learning with: dead trees or flying electrons?
Also, I happen to like curling up in Borders (or a similar bookstore) with a cup of tea and read. Sometimes it's David Weber, sometimes it's Vi in a Nutshell. I know I can find every piece of information I need about the programming I do online (except for VBA, but the books aren't a help with that, either!), but I don't do all my programming research logged in. For those many times I'm not, I like paper.
Now, once e-books are a reality, I will gladly move all my computer books to that format, because I want the search capabilities that perldoc.com has. But, that's not for several years.
