... why not simply have the gov't subsidize free copies on CD Roms that come with the computer...
I am seriously not interested in having tax-dollars go towards buying software for people who decided to buy a computer. If someone decides to buy a Dell instead of a computer made outside of the oh-so-intelligent state of Texas, that's their problem.
I was rather happy with working with the xerces and xalan stuff from apache.org. That, combined with the O'Reilly Java and XML book, was enough for me and my coworker to teach ourselves the XML and XSLT we needed to write a not-so-simple application in Java in just a few weeks.
I heartily recommend the O'Reilly Java and XML book (if you can get over all the examples being in Java), and www.apache.org. The only stumbling block was the poor documentation available at apache.org when I needed to call extension functions from the style sheet. But then that's just gettin' crazy with xml anyway...
Recently, there was a period of my life where I did nothing for weeks but sleep, work, and play counterstrike. Play on the lan after work if 6 or more people, or play on the internet if not. Internet play was best.
And I'm female.
Loved every aspect of the game. Still do.
What do women want, Mel?

Which decision would you regret more?
