All right, the pack rat strikes, again. I've a copy of SQL Language Quick Reference for Oracle 7 here on my desk. Got a snail mail address?

My cell phone is the "plain vanilla" variety -- no pictures, no ringtones, no text messaging, no websurfing, no games. I think I must be a librarian at heart (which makes sense as my first choice of jobs would have been English teacher and my mom was a school librarian before she retired) and before Jared throws me off the list for going too off topic, I'm gonna end it here. --- Michael Thomas <mhthomas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I've found a combination that makes reading docs (e.g. > pdf) a pleasure on my laptop. > > 1) Get a laptop with at least a 15in diagonal screen > and resolution of 1280x800.
