I know you'll have taken this into account, but at least it's in
dollars so we can more or less halve it. And yes, I did find the price
in the end, was it $14.99 per month?

The other thing is, in principle, the Internet is a searchable
resource, and it's free so I worry about whether you'd be paying for
something that's already out there. I suppose the O'Reilly database
gives us the ability to search within a resource that's authoritative
and kept up to date.

And in the end, I just like buying and using books :-)
