Gustav & Steven, Here is the official blurb about Safari: Safari Bookshelf is the premier electronic reference library for programmers and IT professionals. Unlike an online bookstore, Safari lets subscribers: Search - Conduct searches across all of the technical books in the Safari library - more than 2,000 in all. Zero in on answers to time critical questions in a matter of seconds. Read - Read the books on your Bookshelf from cover to cover. Or, simply flip to the page you need. Browse - Browse books by category. With Safari researching any topic is a snap. From XML, to database to .Net, you'll find your answer in Safari. Download - Download chapters for viewing offline. Here are links for a FREE TRIAL OF SAFARI http://www.devx.com/premier/door/17532 30 day free trial through devx http://safari.informit.com/ 14 day free trial through informit http://safari.oreilly.com/ 14 day free trial through o'reilly There are three sizes of bookshelf, so you can choose how many books you can have based on how much you want to pay per month. Most books take up one "slot", but some take 2 and others take 1/2 a slot. A 5 slot basic plan is 9.99/ month A 10 slot basic plan is 14.99/month A 10 slot max plan is 19.99/month and you can download some whole chapters plus some other benefits. I am not affiliated with Safari in any way other than being a customer. Brenda Reische Application Support Analyst McDonough District Hospital x. 3263 -----Original Message----- From: Steven W.

So occasionally I find that my shelf is full and I can't look at a book I want to see for a quick answer. << So, what's the limit on the number of books that can be on your shelf? Yes, that does help. Again, I thought I saw a limited-time trial somewhere in my browsing. Now I'd like to try it out but I've forgotten where I saw the offer. Anybody else see it?
