This is awesome as my position touches on many technologies and I am always pulled into situations where I do not know the language or platform to solve an issue someone is having (we have a small IT dept with only 3 real IT people - rest are application people (non-tech types). Since I can travel at some point, wouldbe great to have these in PDF; as I do not always have internet access where I am at. But this is great when I do.
