Just an off topic comment; Amazon reviews can rarely be trusted much these days as editors and their friends ramp up their own books and slag off competitors books....its very frustrating, but in general a leading *good* book on Amazon will have relatively more good reviews then other books...always look at the relative rather then the absolute number of good vs bad reviews. Also I find, just as with movies and books, that there are some books that were tremendously useful to me, but seemingly panned by the general public..if u can page through the book TOC or example contents you may see content that is immediately useful to you because of the project you are working on etc.. Perhaps all blindingly obvious..... gl, Jim Fuller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
