Write a Book!

It does, but only for members on the Inner Circle group (self-employed contractors). Dennis suggested a resource for self-employed contractors that might develop into a (paid) premium site.

I was just wondering,
though a pure text book be less apealing, it will mean nothing to anyone lacking the software anyway will it not?

What about having free hand drawings instead? (will that bypass the legal issue on screenshots?)
those can be collected from all of us to get the huge task quickly achieved.

We can have a contest on best fee hand screen shots as well (prize being an autographed copy?!)

Just thinking ...

You can take the bitmaps in your client directory and modify them to taste. That gives the appearance on the outside of a different product, but when you drill in to every stage it gets tedious. Making your own graphics is great, but it looks really lame and is a lot of work. It's just a pathetic issue to deal with anyway.

You guys are so un-hip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off.

Ford Prefect?

Good timing, I'm downloading a DVD player so that I can watch The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD I just bought

Too bad that Douglas Adams is gone. I heard him speak at an Ascential kickoff several years back; he was also a technohead {Mac lover, I gather; but it's best not to speak ill of the departed}

Not Ford Prefect.

Is this thread wandering a little off topic?

Yes it's wandering, but I've got to be in the ballpark on that guess.
