InstantEnrollment.jhtml. Certainly they don't expect users to read the agreement;).
The current tendency to make those agreements larger and larger and larger is a very bad thing: the result is that the casual reader just won't read them any more. A pretty funny example is the 'FriendGreeting' online greeting card, where the software politely asks your permission to mail the card to every one in your address book. Everyone just seems to press 'I Accept' - and that is totally understandable.
Maybe indeed there should be a mandatory 'this license at a glance'-section for those things.
I've been looking for a good book that will basically improve my programming (portability, efficiency, security, and general 'good programming practice' come to mind). I've been looking at the index for 'Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment' and it looks quite useful, but I noticed that the book is 10 years old and generally biased towards the BSD family. Being primarily a linux person myself, do you think this will make the book less useful to me? Or will much of the information in the book just apply to today's linux (or preferably, portable unix) programming as well?

funny that the screenshots are in colour. I don't believe there's an Agenda VR3 with a colour display?
