O'Reilly is 'freeing' these out of print books for all to use.

True... But it's a very classy move by O'Reilly books.  They have always stood out as having a little more brains than average, and they continue to confirm that by releasing information which otherwise would become obscure or lost to whoever may need access to it someday.  (Hey, you never know when you can endear yourself to an employer by being able to fix that one old machine in the corner that has been running for the past 10 years.  It happens more often than you'd think!)

Good job, guys.  :-)

I've had nice paid leave on top of my standard holidays before now, for fixing ancient machines when the so-called Internal Support guys didn't have a clue.
