lest anyone think otherwise, O'Reilly is very serious about giving away
books. they sent Free Geek literally a wall-length bookshelf row of
introductory books on everything. even though the current wealth of free
up-to-date web-based info on the kind of moving-target subjects (e.g.
perl, python libraries/keywords) that O'Reilly covers (I can't say I own
any of their books anymore, although I sometimes miss "unix power tools",
the ultimate bathroom reader), they are pretty awesome.
