> Safari News
> ================================================
> ***"Go On Safari" Tip of the Week Winner--W. Jim Jordan, 
> Nortel Linux Users Group
> "Books are like consultants.  The best of them help you, provided you
> make the appropriate investments in identifying and using them. The
> worst of them only waste your time and money.  When there are over 1600
> titles to choose from, the selection process is often hit-and-miss.
> You may wind up paying for something that tells you only a bit of what
> you want to know, or you may wind up with a valuable resource.  Safari
> aids you in that selection process by allowing you to search all of the
> titles in its catalogue for relevant sections, while providing
> immediate access to the full text of a small number of titles that you
> hold on your virtual bookshelf."
> 
> You can also participate in this introductory program just for user
> group members. To "Go on Safari," any UG member who signs up for our
> Safari 14-day free trial can send comments on their experiences, or
> tips and tricks for how they used Safari  (it only needs to be 2
> sentences long, but it may be longer) to safari_talk at oreilly.com.
> (Please include your UG name in the email.)
> 
> Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments submitted
> to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, book bags, or other
> surprises). If a member of your user group is selected, your group
> receives free gifts, too. Whatever the individual member receives, your
> UG will get one, too, to give away at your next meeting, or use however
> you see fit. Recipients--and their comments--will be announced in the
> User Group Newsletter.
